I dunno; I figured that since I was trying to mount them *through* Toast's mount utility that they would have thought of that for me :). In any case, I got the exact same error trying to create a temporary partition using Toast. I suspect OS 9 compatibility problems. However, I finally did succeed in burning a 3.4-RELEASE CD. It was pretty much what everyone here told me; just drop the .iso file directly into Toast using the "Disk Image" option, and stay far away from the ISO options. Trying to create an ISO image from an ISO image is apparently not wise. Thanks again, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
