After trashing yet a few more CDs trying to make bootable -STABLE installation CDs, I've come to realize there's something very fundemental I just don't get about these ISO images. If I burn a CD on a Mac using Toast 4.0 deluxe (which Adaptec assures me is capable of creating bootable ISO-9660 CDROMs) using ISO-9660 as teh format, a single file is created on the cdrom called "3.4-install.iso", which is essentially useless. Of course it won't boot, and if you mount it and look at it, you still just see that single file. If I take my 3.2-RELEASE CD, it boots, and if I mount it, I see a normal directory structure with all the normal files and subdirectories that I would expect to see. Don't get me wrong, I believe in *buying* FreeBSD from time to time to support the ongoing development, hence I bought the 3.2 Power Pak last year, and just pre-ordered 4.0-RELEASE for whenever it ships. But I'd REALLY like to be able to create my own bootable -STABLE or -RELEASE installation CDs. What the fsck am I doing wrong??? TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
