[CUBE] Off topic :iMac

The Bondi iMacs sometimes had issues with installing OS X if extra ram 
had been installed in the top slot.  You might try removing the ram 
from that slot and see if it helps.  The only other issue might be the 
cdrom drive itself.  The cdrom drives were specific to that model 
(233-333mhz), so if it has been replaced with a later one or 3rd party, 
it may have startup issues while trying to boot to a cd.
