One thing that OS X used to do to CD-boot on those machines (at least earlier versions of OS X that could support those) was to install patches for OF in nvram that "fix" the cd-booting.... of course, you lose them if you cmd-opt-P-R... It's possible that a recent version of MockOS will restore them, that or trying to boot form an OS X install CD... those are in fact fake macos boot CDs (that is, they contain a "System" file, a bit like miboot) which will update the nvram and reboot right away.
