If you did all of the right things to burn it stated in the Downloading FAQ then when you boot it you get a prompt that lets you put in options (if needed). You can try just typing a return at this prompt or even just waiting 30 seconds. If you didn't follow the instructions in the downloading faq then follow the documentation link at the top of this page and read it.

You are not following the instructions in the downloading faq. You are assuming that you know how to burn the ISO. You are wrong.
