I went to http://fedora.redhat.com/download/#room and successfully followed the instructions there to download the ISO images for disks 1-4. I followed the link to http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/getting-started-guide/s1-disks-cdrw.html and successfully followed the instructions there to use X-CD-Roast to create the CDs. I extracted the boot.iso file from the first disk, and used the same techniques to create a supposed "boot" disk from boot.iso. However, I can't actually boot from it.
I know precisely how to configure the BIOS for my computer to allow it to boot from the CD-rom, and I've successfully used it to boot from other CDs, including the RH 8.0 installation disk. I can't get it to boot from this one.
Does the procedure given at the link above, need to be modified to produce a bootable disk?
I just tried booting from the boot.iso image and it worked fine, but I didn't use X-CDRoast.
Why not burn the image directly and try again:
"cdrecord -v dev=3,1,0 -fs=16m driveropts=burnfree -eject /mnt/cdrom/images/boot.iso"
