It is funny, but I got a "bug report" from Sun regarding bootable CD's.
Aout 2-3 years ago, I changes mkisofs so that it does not write a second
END PVD descriptor anymore.
Sun seems to assume that it is there and patches the first one to become
a eltorito PDV. .... I told them that that rather should use the sparc boot
features of mkisofs...
