Failure to boot CDR on Dec. 2000 DC

Folks:
        I did the silly thing and snapped on a cheap DC off eBay before
        reading the FAQ on the subject of CDR booting and find myself in
        possesion of a December, 2000 system which indeed will not boot
        any CDR I toss at it... I've even tried a bunch of the recipes I
        found on the 'net which all claim to make bootable CDRs for the
        newer non-MIL-compliant systems and have produced a few coasters
        as a result -- not one of the recipes produced a CDR that my DC
        would boot.

        Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on to the list in case the next
        guy reads the archives before getting a DC; I also thought I'd
        see if anyone has had success on a newer (heh!) DC system and
        can share their experience if it was succesful...

        I've set reply-to back to myself since I'm not on the list, but 
        I'll summarize if I learn anything interesting...
