Obviously, since I talked about what was on the disk, I was doing that. The problems are that there are several vmlinuz and several initrd.img on the CD. I've even mounted the cd9660 filesystem and wandered around reading the files. I have tried the kernel and initrd in /isolinux and in /live ... they fail to boot with something about "/sbin/init missing" while iniitrd is still mounted. I gather that some set of kernel boot options is what I'm missing, but I haven't been able to find those yet.
