The .iso file is an compressed file. If the CD you are trying to boot from only has a single .iso file then you did not burn the cd correctly. It should look like an regular data CD with directories, and sub-directories populated with files. If you can use FBSD to mount the CD, and use the cd [change directory] command to point to it and then ls command to see the contents, then your boot problem lies some where else than with the CD disk.

I burned the .iso for i386 (release 5.1) on the CD and configured the BIOS to boot from the CD but it won't boot from it. I have also tried using the floppy to install it but it can't detect the .iso in the CD. Are there other files that must be burned to the CD. I have burned BeOS PE Max edition to the CD to test if my computer can boot from the CD. It worked perfectly and booted from it.
