That option is only relevant to creation of video DVD ROMs (main goal of it is re-arrange the track so that table of contents files are the first onces along the track - which is necessary in stand alone DVD players). I do use this command all the time to burn bootable media (FreeBSD, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu...) and all of them work well for me. I do not use "-speed" option, but it shouldn't matter, and using slowest speed as you specify may help getting best possible quality of burn result. Anyway, here is command line from my command history: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/data/system-media/debian-8.6.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso I hope, this helps.
