I have verified the sha512 hash: FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso: OK I have checked that the ISO is bootable: file /var/data/disk_images/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso /var/data/disk_images/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data '11_0_RELEASE_P1_AMD64_DVD' (bootable) However, no matter what technique I use I cannot obtain a bootable DVD from this image, or any other FreeBSD provided ISO file either. growisofs -speed=1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=/var/data/disk_images/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso fdisk -l /dev/sr0 . . . a long long time - fdisk -l /dev/sr0 Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) Disk /dev/sr0: 2930 MB, 2930409472 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 89 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 2048 bytes / 2048 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 2048 bytes / 2048 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Now, to verify the software and dvd drive that I am using for this I created a dvd from a CentOS-6.7 image. This works fine. fdisk -l /dev/sr0 Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) Disk /dev/sr0: 1991 MB, 1991245824 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 474 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 2048 = 4194304 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 2048 bytes / 2048 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 2048 bytes / 2048 bytes Disk identifier: 0x75c649ae Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sr0p1 * 1 1899 7778304 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(1023, 63, 32) logical=(1898, 63, 32) SO, what is going on? What is different about the FreeBSD ISO that prevents it from creating a bootable DVD, I have tried this on A CentOS-8 linus host and a Windows7Pro host and cannot obtain a bootable DVD. I can create bootable DVD from the CentOS ISO on both. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
