It also doesn't look at Rock-Ridge extensions and only uses the base ISO-9660 directory entries. That was enough fun to write in assembly. OTOH, CD sectors are 2k, so you do have that much room to work with and can probably fit a more advanced directory lookup into cdboot. I'm happy to review any patches you come up with. -- John Baldwin
