copying SunOS distribution CD's

What SunOS version and platform CD are you trying to copy?  I've burned
sparc CDs with Xcdroast multiple times and they have always booted
fine.  When I went to make a copy of my Solaris 7 Intel CD, I found that
it copied perfectly (CD -> disk -> CD), only to realize that the CD
itself was never bootable to begin with and I still needed the floppy
install bootdisk.  Just my $0.02.
