qemu doesn't work for some reason. Anytime I try and use qemu I get the
error "Cannot initialize SDL library..."
Yes, I have tried it in different hardware. What exactly do cdbr and
cdboot do? I get the screen that says "OpenBSD boot loader" (with the
hardware fd1 etc listed), with the "Loading /CDBOOT" above it and it just
hangs.
cdbr is listed in the installation instructions as the cdboot loader.
cdboot is the second stage boot loader IIRC. Don't hesitate to correct me
if I'm wrong here.
The help is apprecitated. I'm not trying to make install media (that
would actually be easy), just boot this liveCD. Has anyone else gotten a
LiveDVD to work?

Hello all,

Relevant info:
---------------
I'm burning a re-writable DVD using the above instructions
The mkisofs command to burn the image is as follows:
/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -no-iso-translate -R -T -allow-leading-dots -l -d
-D -N -v -b cdbr -no-emul-boot -c boot.catalog -o /tmp/livecd.iso
/livecd
--------
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pushing against a deadline,
so
any tips / pointers / suggestions are also appreciated
Have you tested the .iso in QEMU? Have you tried it on different
hardware? Maybe it's because it's a DVD (DVDs might need more drivers
than the boot loader has? Maybe try cdboot instead of cdbr?
