Apple provides BIOS emulation, but I'm not sure if it shows the POST output
you're probably used to. This is how they made their EFI-based systems

Linux can boot via native EFI _or_ BIOS emulation.

It will definitely (at least) boot from CD/DVD. Hold down the Option key
immediately after you power on your Mac.
