Hello all,

Please CC to me directly as I am offlist...

I am building a LiveCD/LiveDVD based on OpenBSD 4.1 snapshot. I know this is an unofficial page, but I followed the instructions here:
http://openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?title=LiveCD

I'm using 4.1 because of the libraries required on the LiveDVD. This LiveDVD is used for in-house hardware diagnostics with customized programs written for BSD. I thought it would be easier to boot from CD rather than installing OpenBSD on every machine we need to use as a hardware testbed.


The only changes I made to the above instructions were to copy the "backup/{}" directories instead of tar'ing them and unzipping them.

Everything works fine until the hang on boot with the message: "Loading CBDR.." The disc then fails to boot.

Relevant info:
---------------
I'm burning a re-writable DVD using the above instructions

The mkisofs command to burn the image is as follows:

/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -no-iso-translate -R -T -allow-leading-dots -l -d -D -N -v -b cdbr -no-emul-boot -c boot.catalog -o /tmp/livecd.iso /livecd

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pushing against a deadline, so any tips / pointers / suggestions are also appreciated.

Ted Goodridge
