Maybe it is an issue with unsupported hardware?

I burnt and testing a couple recovery Live-CD's. I recorded several last night. Most are just for testing and to give these Live-CD's a trial. They are all FreeBSD recovery based CD's.
From: Snarl, FreeBSDIE, RIP-FBSD, FreeBSD-3.0.iso.bin, Frenzy.

Some of them did not boot, some did boot but the screen was just blank. Possibly due to unsupported hardware configurations.

I have not had any problems booting Solaris8 or 9 on this machine, but I've had OpenBSD boot-disks not even boot on the same machine.

I've also had issues when using the Retail CD from FreeBSD on the same machine with issues booting.

Alot of the times I have had to swap out the CD drive with another.

When you created the CD, did you use DAO (Disk-at-Once) mode?
This would close the session and finalize the CD.

The Solaris 9 and later CD ISO images are laid out differently than previous versions of the ISO images for Solaris.

SYNOPSIS

       suninstall

DESCRIPTION
