The CD should be bootable on your machine. How did you burn the CD?
Just to make sure, you are aware that the iso image contains the whole
filesystem? So when you mount that CD after you burn there should be
many files on the CD, not one single .iso file. Is that the case? Can
you mount the CD on the Blade 150 when running Solaris (I assume
that is what is on the disk today)? What files do you see?
