Can't boot from install CD

I recently purchased Suse Linux and I am trying to boot from the install CD1 on a MacIntosh PPC 7300 with 80 mb of Ram , 180 mhz processor and 2 Gb hard drive. Can't get the install image to appear on the screen despite booting from the disk. I am holding down the "C" key that changes the BIOS settings to boot from a CD.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be and how I might fix it? Do I need a custom kernel? Where could i get it?
