You could download qemu & boot it with that to see if it is a image or actually a hardware
problem. Besides, for a new user, qemu may be better anyway (no need to blow away
working OS, plus you can switch in and out of it).

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear?
The disc just doesn't boot. I can mount it and look at it but
my machine doesn't find it bootable. I want to determine
(before burning a new one) whether it's the disc or a hardware
incompatability, so I ask if anyone has knowledge of this
specific model's (Toshiba Portege 7020ct) compatablity with
Plan9 (fourth edition). I burned it on a Debian machine using
cdrecord from the CLI, as I've done previously with iso
images.
Thanks
