I downloaded and burned the iso.  I verified the MD5 and compared the burned CD with the ISO.  All went well.  Then I booted it on my own Mac mini G4.  It booted fine (I used the "C" hold-down method) and started the installer.  I didn't run any further, because I didn't want to mess up my MacOS-X machine, but it at least booted.

So there's no problem with the iso file itself.

Enjoy!

I've seen this problem before myself and have never resolved it. It's also been reported elsewhere without resolution. I watch this thread anxiously awaiting a fix.
