My theory about windows is right. I just put the cd in a linux machine and
mounted it. The file  there does appear as '.volume.inf' so that shouldn't
be the problem.

So... Once again I'm stumped. I'm trying now to see if Solaris or linux
under VMware can burn to my CDburner.

Has anyone else who has burned this cd image booted from it on a SB100 or
U10? I'm wondering if the original on the website has some corruption in the
part of the CD that has the boot parttion for this architecture? Just a
thought.

What is in the .volume.inf file? and when is it used? is that the 'disk
