Bootable x86 cd... Not booting.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem booting Darwin x86 with the ISO image I just downloaded
from Apple's Darwin page from here:
<http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/6.0/release/darwinx86-602.i
so.gz>

I burned it with Toast after gunzipping it with StuffIt.
All seems ok: if I put the burned image in the cd-rom drive I can see the
contents.
But when I try to boot from it, nothing happens and the boot sequence simply
ignores Darwin... And keeps on booting from the hard drive. Please see that
I correctly set up the the BIOS boot sequence, if I change the cd and I put
a "Debian Installation CD1" it boots up smoothly.

The weird thing is that I tried more than once... and it seems the cd is
working only on particular computers.
For example, it works well on 2 news IBM xSeries 235 Servers, it comes out
written clearly "Darwin ver...", however it hangs up immediately after, I
think because of hardware not supported.
On the other hand, if I try the ISO on other IBM desktops, both quite new
hardware and old one, nothing... It seems like the disk is ignored...

Anyone with my same problem?

Thank you in advance.
