In Windows I tend to use IMGBURN and point it to isolinux.bin while creating an ISO out of a directory structure. In DOS I use some batchfiles: (basically, note the 1st mkisofs line in CDR.BAT) (and no, this post doesn't mention isolinux.cfg file contents) RDPREP3.BAT: @echo off for %%x in ( FD11ISO FD11ISO\CONTENTS FD11ISO\SHELL FD11ISO\SHELL\ISOLINUX ) do if not exist %RAMDRIVE%\%%x\NUL MD %RAMDRIVE%\%%x for %%x in ( FD11ISO\CONTENTS\FREEDOS FD11ISO\CONTENTS\ISOLINUX TEMP ) do if not exist %RAMDRIVE%\%%x\NUL MD %RAMDRIVE%\%%x COPY A:\COMMAND.COM %RAMDRIVE%\TEMP\COMMAND.COM > NUL if not "%size%"=="0" COPY %CDDRIVE%\ISOLINUX\*.* %RAMDRIVE%\FD11ISO\SHELL\ISOLINUX\*.* > NUL if not "%size%"=="0" COPY %CDDRIVE%\ISOLINUX\*.* %RAMDRIVE%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\ISOLINUX\*.* > NUL if not "%size%"=="0" COPY %CDDRIVE%\AUTORUN.INF %RAMDRIVE%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\AUTORUN.INF > NUL if not "%size%"=="0" COPY %CDDRIVE%\SETUP.BAT %RAMDRIVE%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\SETUP.BAT > NUL %CDDRIVE%\FREEDOS\SETUP\ODIN\attrib /s -r -s -h %RAMDRIVE%\*.* > NUL SET TEMP=%RAMDRIVE%\TEMP SET TMP=%TEMP% SET COMSPEC=%TEMP%\COMMAND.COM SET PATH=%PATH%;%CDDRIVE%\FREEDOS\SETUP\ODIN;%CDDRIVE%\FREEDOS\SETUP\BATCH echo. echo Type %cddrive%\SETUP to start installation of FreeDOS 1.1 CDR.BAT: @echo off cls goto copyloop :copyloop if "%1"=="" goto makecd if not exist %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\%1\NUL MD %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\%1 XCOPY /Q /Y /S %cddrive%\%1\*.* %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\%1 ATTRIB -R -S -H /S %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS\%1\*.* > NUL shift goto copyloop :makecd xmssize -0 > nul echo Currently there seems to be %errorlevel% MB of extended memory available. mkisofs -boot-info-table -no-emul-boot -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -o %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\SHELL\ISOLINUX\FDBOOTCD.ISO %ramdrive%\FD11ISO\CONTENTS if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" pause ERROR: MKISOFS generated return status code: %errorlevel%.

Odd, they should work, IF you booted from CD in non-emulation mode. I'm currently working on a A20 testing bootdisk that will also contain a tiny ISO just to demonstrate loading ISO files from Syslinux bootloader. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
