% burncd -v -s 4 -f /dev/acd0c data 4.9-i386-disc1.iso fixate
adding type 0x08 file 4.9-i386-disc1.iso size 655680 KB 327840 blocks
next writeable LBA 0

fixating CD, please wait..
The brand I have been using has been Memorex for CD-RW discs....
Just tried it with some TDK discs and it works perfectly. So I am guessing there
was something flaky about the Memorex discs I have been messing with.

Yeah, but if that was the case I should still be able to boot using a burned
copy of 4.9R.
