You should not have to. It should start automatically. If it doesn't the most common reason is not enough RAM. You need 256MB.
Another possible reason is a corrupt CD either from a bad download or a bad burn. You can use MD5SUM to check both the ISO file you downloaded and the CD.
Still another possible reason is that the CD failed to properly detect your display card. You could try some of the bootcode switches to see if they make any difference.

Best regards,
