A disk image, in this case, is a image file created by Toast, and not germane to this discussion. To make a bootable volume you have to be working in Volume mode. I thought you were doing this because you mentioned a Toast temporary partition. You create one of these, then go into Finder and add a System folder, the files you want, etc. Then you go into toast and burn the volume to a CD. In the Details section of this mode is the checkbox for creating a bootable CD. In all fairness, this is all covered in the Toast manual...:-/ > > Chuck and Bruce, you speak as though Toast was a program from your long > dead past. What application are you using to burn CDs now?

In OSX it couldn't be easier...I stick in a blank CD, a disk icon of an empty 660 mb drive called 'Unititled' pops up on my desktop after a bit, I drag the files I want to the disk, and then drag it to the Trash which obligingly turns into the little Disk Burner radiation logo.
