(way OT) thinkpad and cdrom booting

I have a T23 thinkpad and some of you helped me when I was first setting 
linux up on it.
I had thought that if a bootable cdrom was placed in the cdrom drive, the 
boot would default to that, as with the floppy. However, I just tried this 
with the first cd of the fedora cdrom set (speakup;  yarrow) and I 
got taken directly to lilo instead. can somebody kindly refresh me on 
this? Do I have to do something in the bios or is it possible that I've 
made some kind of mistake in my burning, though I can't think what that 
would be?
Thanks.
