Home made bootable Solaris DVD not bootable !!

Hello folks,

I have just created a bootable DVD using the Instructions
in the Sun blueprint article:
http://www.sun.com/solutions/blueprints/0404/817-6991.html

I followed the procedure exactly as it says in the document
until the part where you burn the image onto a DVD.

In the document John Howard burns the image on the Solaris
server.

As we only have a local Intel attached DVD writer. I have
ftp'd the image to a windows box and then burned the image
to DVD using Roxio DVD Creator.

When I try and boot from the DVD I get the following error:

Bad magic number in disk label.

Is there something this process won't work by ftping and burning
on the Intel DVD or have I messed up earlier in the process ?
I have gone through the full image building/burning process twice
with the same lack of results.

Many thanks for any info/advice.
Paul
