Well, for one thing you only need the boot CD -or- the network boot setup, not both.
But if you are using the boot CD, it shouldn't mater much since they are more active about how they connect to the server. OSCAR does not even try to write the CD itself, we decided it wasn't a great use of our time to try and figure out how to smartly write CDs in a variety of Linux platforms. Heck, I have a hard enough time getting any CDs to write in Linux, let alone doing it smartly :) Anyway, when you run the boot CD it should not boot you to a standard linux, it should connect to the server and download the client image to the client machine's hard drive. It shouldn't even ever give you a prompt unless there has been a serious error... It sounds like you might have burned the wrong image? Also, OSCAR will delete the windows partition on the client node unless you are very careful, just so you know. One user got it to work, but I would test it on a disposable system first until you get the hang of things.
