Actually I was trying to boot a live cd of pclinuxos.

I will have to assume the problem was as Anders Johansson states:

"This happens with disturbing frequency on my machine, the BIOS often
doesn't detect a CD or DVD in the player and jumps to the harddisk
directly. It's either a BIOS bug or a problem with my DVD player..."

It just seemed strange at the time that the boot from CD occurred as
soon as I told SuSE to "turn off the computer".

Thanks for all who responded.
