What I've found to be key is to be CERTAIN to do and MD5SUM check on the iso images before burning the CD. Also, whatever software is used...XCDRoast, Windows stuff, etc, be sure to burn AS AN IMAGE. If this is done, disc one will boot...assuing the bios supports it.
What is actually worse...and I've had this happen...it to have a bootable disc which is corrupt and screws up the installation. Again, this is prevented...by MD5SUM. man MD5SUM is your friend!
