I've noticed different behavior from a few different bootable CDs and DVDs.
Most will trigger the "Press any key to boot from CD" message, but some just
bang right into the CD boot. Can anyone provide a link to an explanation of
how to control the different behaviors?

I think it is the CD that contains the logic to present that option. So
some CDs do and some CDs don't. But I could be wrong.

One of my drives will present the 'press any key to boot from CD or DVD '
option. another one will just boot straight from the disc. This happens with
my Vista DVD and other bootable discs

Correct, as i was saying in my previous post it's how the manufacturor have
set up
their cd, it's not your pc deciding for you, and i'm pretty sure it's not
the drive either cuz my dvd-burner on some cd will ask me if i want to boot
from cd, and other cd just jumps on it and boots from the cd, that is why i
programmed the cmos or boot screen to use the cd-rom as a boot device only
if the harddrive failed to boot, that way i can keep cd in the drive without
worrying about rebooting because of the cd booting it self
