DON'T MOUNT IT. Just burn it in Disc Image mode.
By mounting it, you may have corrupted the image. Toast mounts
unlocked image files read/write, and the Finder WILL screw around
with things and write to the image once it's mounted, even if you
don't explicitly write any files. In particular, the Finder has a
habit of making formerly bootable images unbootable. You should
never use Toast to mount an image you intend to burn without first
locking the image.
