Search the web for a freeware or demo version of Nero 6.

It is able to burn the ISO image to a CD.

There are of course other packages that do this, but that was a
recommendation I'd read on the Sun website some time ago. I don't
know if that recommendation is still there -- but it did work -- and
most importantly from my perspective, the package was free.

(I don't mind shelling out some $$ for a useful utility, but I might
create an ISO image once a year or less, so for me it's not worth it.)

Now -- you'll need a PC with a CD writer to use Nero -- then once
you've created the CD, you'll need a Sun Sparc machine to attempt
booting from the CD.

(BTW, you seem to have misspelled a newsgroup: Google complained about
comp.umix.admin. I guess they don't like the "m".)
