Hi,
I am trying to build a bootable CD... Now this sounds like something trivial
enough to do when you know what you are doing. In my case I must admit that
I am somewhat confused.
Until now, I think that the trick was to make the CD look like a floppy and
boot it as such. I have created some bootable CDs in the past and they
seemed to work OK.
However it looks like things have changed recently in the way CD-Roms are
booted, and I am not able to create a working CD anymore.
What I would like to clarify is what needs to be in the "2.88 M" bootable
image ?
Here is what I have:
/boot
/boot0
/boot1
/boot2
/loader
/cdboot
/pxeboot
/loader.config
/loader.rc
/boot.config
/kernel.config
/kernel.gz
/modules
...
/usr/sbin
ibcs2
linux
svr4
Now whenever I boot this image, the loader dies displaying a all whack hex
values and saying "BTX Halted".
I am a bit confused as to what to do next, and I would really appreciate any
help.
BTW I am working on a fresh copy of FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (checked-out August
15).
Patrick.
