Before starting, I checked all of the files on my CD and made certain
that
all of the directory/files mentioned in the 'minimum tree' are there.
The following shows that the same problem still exists.
Just for grins, I am going to make another CD on my X86 system. I have
seen a few Emails where people have made X86 ISOs on Macs and then have not
been able to boot???
