The problem seems to lie in which sector contains the boot catalog. Some test ISOs were released to test the theory, and the culprit seems to be that some CD drives are failing to boot up the CD when the ISO places the boot catalog in sector 929. At least, that's the drift I'm getting on the cooker list. It seems to have held true on my drive.
