I believe HP machines use a 512 byte sector CD drives (with the standard
being 2048 byte). I'm not sure off-hand if the TEAC supports 512 byte
sectors. Your best bet may be to borrow a CD off a Sun machine, if you
have access to one.

Alternatively, you might have better luck doing a netboot, which I've used
with success before on a 715/75.
