Hi, I want to comment a thing:

When you insert Live Install CD, it is booted automatically (if you have BIOS setup correctly).
But this is not good in all cases. For example: I was in college so I needed to finish install in my machine remotely, I inserted live install CD and I ran /etc/init.d/sshd start script.

I did bootstrap from stage1, emerge -e system (pass to stage2), and finally compiling kernel and other system tools. When I rebooted remotely yo finish installation, liveCD was executing again and I didn't want this...

Could you do something like a "Press any key to boot from CD..." ?

Thank you.

No, we really cannot without writing our own bootloader for the CD.  Sorry.

The only possible solution that we have is bug #126366 that will add eject to the CD< but if your CDROM is one of those that automatically closes when the machine is rebooted, you're out of luck.
