First, cdrecord does not control whether or not an image is bootable; that's done with mkisofs. Are you having trouble creating an ISO9660 image, or are you having trouble getting a "known good" ISO9660 image onto disc? If you're making the image yourself, I have a good idea where you may be going wrong, as it is a common mistake. The boot image is specified as relative to one of the included directories. For example, $ ls /pub/OpenBSD/3.2/i386 bsd base32.tgz cdrom32.fs comp32.tgz game32.tgz man32.tgz misc32.tgz $ mkisofs -r -l -o obsd32.iso -b 3.2/i386/cdrom32.fs /pub/OpenBSD In this case, the boot image (as specified by '-b') is at /pub/OpenBSD/3.2/i386/cdrom32.fs. I specified '3.2/i386/cdrom32.fs' because '/pub/OpenBSD' is listed as a source directory. > 2.)

I can send you an OpenBSD 3.2-beta disk ;) -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
