I just got ahold of a Cmalshell today and I am trying to install OS X on it and I can not get the cd to boot. I hold down the C key and it keeps booting OS 9.

Well basically this is what you do when you don't want to boot from your internal hard disk this is also for CD's

Are you using a retail copy of OS X? It should boot from the CD if you are. If you are using a burned copy then your chances of booting are diminished. I have heard more tales of burned CD's not booting than ones that actually did.
If you don't have an official copy of the CD, I would suggest checking out the resellers or eBay for a retail copy of OS X.
