But, an ISO is transferred from machine to machine as a file. You need to burn the ISO /image/ to the disc, not the ISO file. If you put the CD in, and see a file *.iso, then you've done it wrong. Your burner software should allow you to "write from image" or similar. Use that option, and you should end up with a bootable CD. burncd under FreeBSD works well, but if you don't already have FreeBSD installed, then you can use Adaptec's EZ CD thing. I'm sure there are other burner softwares that will allow you to burn a raw ISO image to CD.
