Under Nero... the 4.7 downloadable ISO appears as "Joliet (bootable)" but an image I create using Make Release appears as "Joliet" and once burnt I cannot boot from that CD. I know I can easily get round this booting from the created floppy instead but that seems kind of defeatist. I'd like to know what's going on with more accuracy and can't find anything extra about "Make iso.1" under man or www.freebsd.org I'm the first to admit I could be misusing the windows burning software but it seems to happily recognise bootable & non-bootable images appropriately.
