I have a custom kernel that I need to have boot from a cd across as many
machines as possible. I currently build the cd using scripts adapted from
what is in src/release, (I now owe Poul-Henning more than one beer), and
it boots every time in the lab, but people testing are reporting that it
will not boot on even newer machines. I realize that having a cd boot in
the PC world is an ify proposition, but does anybody have any tips on how
how to burn a more "reliable" bootable cd.
I am using mkisofs 1.12 with the following flags:
mkisofs -b floppies/boot.flp -c floppies/boot.catalog -d -N -D -R -T -l -V
'"Test"' -P '"Copyright"' -o ${BASE}/../../isoimages/image.iso ${BASE}
and cdrecord 1.8 with the following flags:
cdrecord speed=4 -v -data -multi dev=0,4,0 image.iso
I realize this might be more apropriate on questions, but if I don't solve
or at least have a better story about this problem very soon there may be
one less application available for FreeBSD, and I am working very hard
trying to prevent that :).
Thanks.
Chad
