I seem to be having an interesting problem creating a CD that is bootable
on Alpha. I built a release (too a while on the PWS600au but it got there).
Then created an .iso using the /usr/share/examples/worm/makecdfs.sh
Subsequently ran setcdboot to make it bootable. Ran cdrecord and wrote the
whole thing on CDRW. All mkisofs, setcdboot, cdrecord, done on the PWS
itself.
On trying to boot I get the phenomenon listed below: ALL CAPS filenames.
mkisofs is version 1.14, freshly built from ports. Mounting the CD under
FreeBSD produces lower case filenames like we are used to.
Should be mkisofs' fault I would assume. Any clues? I going thru this
exercise to be able to test CD booting on the big iron machines I have
at work.
