This DVD is not bootable. Apple should have supplied a not for

Okay, at this point Greg, you are being a whinger. Apple has no
interest in very tom, dick and harry out there attempting to run Mac
OS X Server on their Mac mini. It's not designed as a consumer product
so expecting a little more from you is par for the course.
I've tried burning the disk image supplied by Apple and though it
shows up
in Toast & System Startup as being bootable it is unbootable and if
you use
the Option Button during startup doesn't appear as a bootable disk.
What is
the recommended way to make a bootable DVD from the image Apple
supplied?
I've blown over $30 on blank dual layer DVDs that ended up as
unbootable
disks. I've bought another $30 of blanks and need some advice lest I
end up
with another bunch of coasters.
What makes things harder is G4 & G5 Xserves only came with CD drives
by
default which means I have to get a bootable version of Leopard
Server which
will be run from a Dual 2.7 GHz G5 Desktop machine which has a super
drive
which will have the Xserve's connected to it via Target Disk Mode.
Easier than that.
Restore the DVD image to a small hard disk partition on a FireWire
Disk. (I've even used an old iBook for this.) Then set the XServe to
boot over firewire from this. Amount of expensive media used? 0. Also
handily gets around the CD drive issue.
