Instead of tweaking the kernel, why didn't you simply convert: mount -u -o rw / if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo "Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted" exit 1 fi into mount -u -o rw -t nocd9660,msdos / if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo "Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted" exit 1 fi mount -a -t cd9660,msdos ???
