Default Problem making Bootable Solaris CDs

Gentle people:

I am having trouble making bootable images of
the Solaris 10 download files.

First I download the Solaris Binaries Files
from the Sun Site:
sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1-iso.zip

Then I unzip of course:
sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1.iso

I assume the above file is an iso image file?

Buy how do you make a bootable CD Rom Image?

I have tried cdrecord:
cdrecord -v -isosize speed=8 dev=0,0,0 sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1.iso

I have also tried Roxio Easy CD Creator?
If you use Creator do you specify a Bootable CD in some manor?

I have done this successfully in the past on Rh-9
using mkisofs and cdrecord.

Thanks for the help.
