I have never had a problem with burning the PFSense ISO on CD. The CD-R brand I use is Memorex.
The only stability problem I saw was caused by the network cards. To fix this simply switch out the network cards for something else until you get a good combination. For best stability it has been recommended on the forum to use Intel network cards. I'm running 1.2RC3 on all the systems I manage. I've used numerous firewalls and PFSense is my favorite followed by m0n0wall.
