If you have a mac that has been made in about the last four years, you can hold 
down option at startup for a bootloader. Includes any bootable cds in the 
drive, network bootable volumes, etc.

Apple have built this in for a long time now...

You can also hold down "x" to force booting to OS X. I think there is an 
equivalent for OS 9, but not sure.
