CDROM won't boot

[Mark Felderman]

Dennis,

You might see if Toast version 4 has the "Mount disk image" selection 
under the Utilities menu.
I used Toast 5 on OS X to make a bootable 'dayton' cd, so I am not 
farmiliar with the Toast 4 menus, sorry.
I downloaded the ydl iso to the desktop, opened Toast, choose from the 
Utilities menu: "Mount disk image," and then under the "copy" function 
choose the disk image I mounted through the Utilities menu.

This produced a bootable disk that responded to the "c" key.

Hope this helps:)
