If you do not get the CD/DVD boot prompt then you will need to enter the BIOS to set the CD/DVD drive as first boot. That is the only time you need to enter the BIOS and that is typically done by pressing F2 or F10, or DEL key (this depends on the brand of PC, Dells are typically F2 but HP/Compaq are typically F10 and many others use DEL key)while the POST and PC splash screen is showing (before the OS starts).
On my Dell desktop, tapping F12 gets me to the boot select screen without entering the BIOS.
