No, just forget about the cd40.iso image. Build your own .iso image, using the cdrom40.fs as the emulated big floppy. $ find openbsd/4.0 openbsd/4.0 openbsd/4.0/i386 .. openbsd/4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs .. $ mkisofs -J -R -b 4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs openbsd Then, you could merge other files to that with the -C .. -M .. switches, but you should use again the '-b 4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs' for the last session. Or forget about multi-session, and decide from the first what files to put on the CD. > Like I said, I was able to boot it from the desktop, so unless this is some > weirdo BIOS bug (latest BIOS here, rev date Oct 2006), it should have booted > straight up. No, it is the standard. Your desktop, not your laptop does things weird (it's probably an older machine). PS. Sorry for the test message, if it made it to the list.
