Well, no, because I can't do this:

  # dd if=_.disk.full of=/dev/acd0 bs=64k

If I do this:

  % cdrecord -v -immed driveropts=burnfree dev=1,0,0 -data _.disk.full

then try to boot the machine from the CD-R, I get a "-" cursor
for a second or two, then it switches over to the hard disks to
boot from.

Okay, it's possible I messed up the compilation options or
something.  Is the cdrecord command above the correct procedure
to use to build a bootable nanobsd CD-R?
