Thanks, but I was hoping for a method that would also verify the CD boot
process, and that would not require downloading and installing a second
image or trusting the CD to verify itself.


On a side note, CD #2 (amd64, powerpc, song) includes more than 15Mb of
space not directly allocated in files (excluding the audio track):

# mount -o ro /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
# df -B KB /dev/sr0
Filesystem     1kB-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sr0         630047kB 630047kB       0kB 100% /mnt/cdrom
# du -B KB -s /mnt/cdrom/
614111kB        /mnt/cdrom/


For the records:
