Just another good reason to remove CD and removable devices from the
available boot devices on production servers and only activate as
needed.

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??
