I have established the following: I can make a FreeBSD filesystem via a loopback device. DD the file to cdrecord. This will make a perfectly good CD which can be mounted read only. I can boot to this from a floppy. I can also make an El-Torito bootable ISO9660 CD with the above. What I want to do (mostly for some slight security-through- obscurity) is to make a bootable CD with some other filesystem instead of ISO9660, so that it is not trivially mountable on Windows machines. So, does anyone know how to do this? Having two filesystems on the CD (an minimal El-Torrito ISO9660) which can be booted and then mount the rest of the CD is OK. It is possible that there is no way - I just want to know. Thanks to all. -- -=[L]=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
