1) When you burned the MorphOS installation CD, did the disc work on some other machine? Did the other machine show MorphOS related files directly when you browsed your CD/DVD drive? There should be tens of directories and small files (like the MorphOS.readme file), and no ISO images there (sometimes people get the ISO image file burned on a disc, instead of actual contents).
1). I don't have another machine that can read these CD's. I made a few... May I did it wrong... Unfortunately, to me, the instructions are not clear and detailled enough.
On the USB, I tried both ways. All the files were copied to the stick, the boot was replaced with the correct one, and morphos.iso was also added. Nothing worked.
But you have another machine that has a working CD/DVD drive? But these CDs don't work on it? If you have succeeded to burn the standard ISO image to a CD, the contents of the disc (separate files and directories) should be visible on any OS/machine when you insert the disc in the drive. I have now tried to burn the current MorphOS Live CD image to a CD-RW disc on a Windows 10 machine, and the disc works just fine and I can browse the MorpOS system files on it on the Win10 machine, without having any ISO file involved anymore. I would first verify that your CD works "universally" on other machines before trying to boot from it on the MorphOS machine.
In any case, never copy the actual MorphOS system files/dirs separately anywhere manually. If you use USB media, have the single ISO file (and the boot image file) on it without extracting any files from it. If you use CD, burn the ISO image on the disc in the traditional way how ISO files are meant to be burned originally before someone figured out to mount them on the fly. Don't mount/extract separate files to be burnt, but just select the ISO image to be burned in whichever way it's done in your OS (by an OS feature or a separate burning program).
