I know that bootloaders often don't contain code to retry if there are problems. It could be just that.
I don't quite follow...
For working with my 840AV (with original CD), I dug up some CDRs I saved
for these cases, deep green ones (the old ones), or gold ones (the bottom
side deep gold).
I heard that old CDRs had a higher gain (+/- 33%), while "newer" (blue,
specially lightblue and all shades between that and (light) green) have a
lower gain.(+/- 25%)
In general, try to get as dark CDRs as possible to avoid problems.
And while I usually use dirt cheap CDRs for my modern machine, I buy brand
CDRs for old machines (which means Philips, if you live in Eindhoven, NL
like me). It really pays off.
It's a bone-fide Apple 7.6 Install *CD*, not a copy.
