Yes.  I have two near identical Vaio's.  Both have DVDs, both have a
BIOS that lists the DVD players, and both allow the DVD to be listed
and be first boot device, which I've done on both, several times.
Nada!  I've never been able to boot a DVD from either one.  Even
installing Slack requires I use the CDs.  

I may try the "disconnect CD player" suggestion.
