I had no problem using Nero 5.0.4.4. I believe the only trick was to select:

File -> Burn image 

Then select the iso image file name from the pop-up.

Trying to select the iso image file using:

File -> Open  or the Wizard

Generates the error message "Unexpected File Format"

Be careful trying to use this image in a Sun CDROM. My CDROM writer (and all
PC writers) creates 2048 blocks where the Sun CD drives expect 512 blocks.
I was able to successfully boot my Sparc 10 ONLY with the SCSI Ricoh R/W CD
that I use to make the boot CD. 

There is a lot more information of the Sun CD blocksize problem in this list
about a month back.

Hi,

you might experience problems burning the ISO image
using NERO. Rather use the GNU (cygnus) cdrecord
tool (also available/compiled for Windows).

Ciao, Uwe

First of all, you should probably get the latest -- 7.1 is out.

You don't need any of that. You are burning an existing iso image, not
making an iso image, so you use the "burn image" option in Nero. Accept
the other options as default.

Once you have done that, it's a good idea to pop CD 1 into a working
computer and go to the documentation directory and take a look at the
manual in there which will give you further info.
