stompy:/home/sossego# genisoimage -hfs -boot-hfs-file I*/newcd/boot/boot1.hfs -part -o /home/bsd-install-update.iso $PWD/I*/newcd/* Skip the standard output Iceweasel_Downloads/newcd/boot/boot1.hfs is not a HFS boot file genisoimage: No such file or directory. <no error message given> It's possible for me to generate my own cd if I knew the right input for genisoimage. I don't have the G4 currently setup. Genisoimage is being done from debian ppc. I could also combine any boot-only CD with the BSD install CD or a rescue and have my own to use if I had the directions. Not saying that i would always do such but, that it would be nice to try it once.
