Mac OS X 10.5, Boot Camp: Black screen when booting from Windows XP install CD on iMa

Some iMac (Late 2006 24-inch) computers may display a black screen when booting from the Windows XP installer CD, instead of the standard blue installation screen. The computer will respond to the correct setup key presses and continue the installation even though the built-in display has no video.
