+++ Happy Clown [freebsd] [24/12/02 00:33 +0000]:OK... bit more explanation. Under Nero... the 4.7 downloadable ISO appears as "Joliet (bootable)" but an image I create using Make Release appears as "Joliet" and once burnt I cannot boot from that CD.
| Then
| > chroot /usr/release
| > cd /usr/src/release
| > make iso.1
|
| This also went through ok.
|
| My problem is... the ISO images created don't appear to be bootable. At
| least they're not recognised as such by the burning software I'm using
| (Nero... OK, I'm burning them on a windows machine :-/ that's where the
| burner is).
|
| Am I missing any options with the make iso.1 command or any other steps to
| make these ISO images bootable? Any helpful suggestions from anyone?
|
What do you mean by "don't appear to be bootable"?
Did you burn it and then found out that its not bootable?
After going through /usr/src/release/Makefile, I realize
that the image created is bootable. Why don't you burn it
and test?

Shantanu

Everyone is a genius. It's just that
some people are too stupid to realize it.
I know I can easily get round this booting from the created floppy instead but that seems kind of defeatist. I'd like to know what's going on with more accuracy and can't find anything extra about "Make iso.1" under man or www.freebsd.org
I'm the first to admit I could be misusing the windows burning software but it seems to happily recognise bootable & non-bootable images appropriately.
Ta,
Phil.
