Don't know, I'm sure there's some reference for what that means on an
ide cdrom somewhere... I don't know where it is though.

If the CD is correct, then it may be that your drive doesn't like this
CD. Maybe try a different type of blank, or just try to boot it on
someone else's machine to see if it works. I think it just has some
text about what it wants to do. It's been a while since I've done
that.
