Company I work with had that problem a few years ago. 

Owner had a big honkin' HP server he was using to run a run a bunch of virtual servers.  He put in a BlueQuartz CD and loaded up a new virtual.  Left it in the drive. 

Utility company dropped power one night a week later - longer than the UPS would carry.  When he got in the next day - he had one big honkin' BlueQuartz server!

To say he was upset is a understatement.  Luckily, we was able to recover about 75% of the lost virtual machines and data. 

But it was that incident, combined with other people in the BlueQuartz list saying "Hey - that's happened to me too!" that caused Brian to change the installer.  After that, it waited till you hit RETURN to proceed.  Did your custom CD creation process reverse that change??
