Hi: I have a couple questions related to booting my FreeBSD system from a CD-ROM: First, is "El Torito" the only way to boot from a CD-ROM? Is there some way to use disklabel to make the ISO9660 filesystem bootable, so that /boot and /kernel can just go in the CD-ROM filesystem, rather than being embedded in the image of a floppy disk? Second, what is the purpose of the -C boot flag? On the boot(8) man page is says "boot from CDROM," but I can boot from a CD (El Torito style) without it. Does it have any use, possibly in the context of my first question? Thanks very much in advance for any clues that anyone here has.
