right. as I said you need an image you NEVER MOUNTED. go download it again,
do not mount it. you don't need to. tell toast you have a DISK IMAGE and
drag it into toast, DO NOT MOUNT IT, toast should recognize it and let you
burn it. it should boot fine then.
I don't understand why people mount disc images anyway..
Once the image is mounted there IS NO WAY to fix it so it will boot again.
Save yourself a lot of headaches, when you download images, lock the file as
soon as you get it so it can't be written to regardless (there shouldn't be
any need to write to a disc image) and NEVER MOUNT IT.
