Looking up /BOOT/LOADER . . . Found

Did you check the download (md5)?
Edit: Also, could be a faulty disc.

When you boot from the BIOS Boot Menu by pressing F12,wait the your DVD stop spinning before selecting your CD Drive.

Also as fatmac mention you should check the md5 if it match your ISO. http://www.ghostbsd.org/download-4.0
