1. Does an actual factory OSRCD work ok in the same machine?  You say a
copy doesn't work, but does an original?

2. Do you have more than one NIC and/or more than one CD drive in the
machine you're booting the OSRCD in?  If so, that's probably the culprit.

3. Can you boot from any other bootable CDs you've burned yourself on the
same machine?  (i.e., a RedHat install CD)  I'm asking to try and eliminate
your burning process and/or CD drive's ability to read your homeburned CDs
from the list of culprits.
