Hi, I must be doing something wrong here and need some hints to figure out what.
My attempts to burn macppc install56.iso to a CD seems to produce un-bootable discs. I'm using cdrecord(1) to perform the burns. At the Open Firmware prompt I issue: 0 > boot cd:,ofwboot /5.6/macppc/bsd.rd and that results in: DISK-LABEL: read of block0 failed ATAPI-DISK: open of DISK-LABEL failed can't OPEN: cd:,ofwboot Can't open device or file ok 0 > I went through four different burn attempts; one with Dec 7th snapshot. And three right now with Dec 8th one. I tested with official 5.6 CD and that CD boots just fine. This is how the image was burned to disc: # cdrecord -v dev=/dev/rcd0c install56.iso cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Assuming -sao mode. cdrecord: If your drive does not accept -sao, try -tao. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent default s.

Also note that burning an amd64 image works just fine (with same "WARNING" during cdrecord phase). On a related note, how can base tools (cdio(1)?) be used instead of cdrecord(1) (from ports) to burn these images to disc? Thanks in advance, --patrick
