How do I switch from cd 1 to cd 2 in attract-mode?

Some psx games have more than one cd.

If you use RocketLauncher that you mention in your other post it will give you this option in the pause menu.

A better option is combine your multiple disc files into a single .pbp file. This will eliminate the need to switch discs and will also provide directly usable compressed files (without needing to be unzipped) which will save a lot of space and provide a performance gain when loading games.

There are other options but .pbp files are the best option for psx.

What method do you use to make PBP files? I feel like I looked into making PBP files once and didn't find an answer (admittedly, it was only a cursory search)

You can use ISOBuster to convert the multiple .bin files into .iso files. Then you can use PSX2PSPv1.4.2 to combine and convert the multiple .iso files into a single .pbp file.
