Can't boot from downloaded Solaris 9

Hello,

I downloaded the boot images from sun.com, but when I burn them, I just
cannot
boot from them on my Ultra 1.

I downloaded the Sparc Solaris 9 12/02 iso images from sun.com, and used Nero
to
create a bootable CD from the first image. This wasn't bootable.

I then used nero to simply burn a CD from an image. This wasn't bootable
either.

The message my Ultra 1 is giving me is:

  ok boot cdrom
  Boot device: /sbus/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@6,0:f File and args:
  Can't read disk label.
  Can't open disk label package

  Can't open boot device

  ok

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do??

Thanks,
Richard.
