I used mkisofs -o bootimage.iso -hfs -part -l -J -r -L I don't know why that doesn't work... I was closer to success with hdiutil's makehybrid command. Oh well.

I wonder if it would boot from an iPod :) Dave > >> >> -- >> Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
