A few thoughts:

- most modern systems have a way of allowing you to select the boot 
device at boot time without going into the BIOS.  Try that and see if 
the CD-ROM is listed
- You should be able to boot off USB - more initial work for you, but 
might be quicker just to get the OS installed and monkey with the CD-ROM 
later
- Are you sure the BIOS is still able to see the CD-ROM, if not boot off 
it?  Check the device list and move to a different SATA port and check
