This is a bad sign. The contents of YellowDog/ppc should be
visible when viewed using OS X.

Yes. I have done this a number of times.

I use
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,6,0 -data cd_image_name
>3) What to try next?
Are you carefully reading the output of cdrecord to make sure no
errors are reported? Have you tried slowing things down a bit by
using 'speed=2' ? You aren't trying to do any other work on the
machine while it is burning the CD, are you?
