I did much the same but didn't mess with the MD5 stuff. Used xcdroast to
write the image to a CD.
I haven't booted it yet but it looks good when I mount it. Been playing with
the floppy you can build to boot it.
Anyway, sounds like your method for writing the CD isn't correct. It took me
awhile to figure out how to do it with xcdroast.
You need to go to the setup... and place the directory where your image is
into the HD settings areas.
Then save that and go to the main menu and 'create CD'
Under CD/image info you should find your image listed on the right.
Then go to 'Write Tracks' and 'layout tracks' and select your image and
'add' it.
Accept track layout and then under 'write tracks' do a 'write it'.
It is NOT intuitive.
