I think your problem is this statement you made 'i don't think it is working' What do you mean by this?. The command you used copied the image.iso file to the cd. If you tried to boot from it of course it won't boot. To be able to boot you have to uncompress to ISO file into an FBSD directory tree format and the dd command does not do that. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Doug Poland Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 4:29 PM To: b1henning@hotmail.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: copy a cd Brian Henning said: > i am trying to copy a data cd with > dd if=/dev/acd0c of=/home/image.iso bs=2048 > i don't think it is working... i don't have the error message, but > the cd doesn't work when i burn it. > can i somehow find out for sure if bs=2048 is correct ? > is there any other info i need about the cd before i can copy it? > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-c ds.html -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
