CSM isn't compatible with DDR-6. UEFI's won't have CSM, soon. My only 
multi-session optical media that works with UEFI-CSM is BD-RE which was never 
bootable to begin with. If I had some other multi-session media format, I don't 
think it would work without CSM any better than distro.iso's which forgot 
-no-emul. Whole lotta Rock Ridge options won't be valid moving forward, due to 
incompatibility at the "alignment" level, like offsetting an overlapping 
partition containing the real distro.iso -- at best, gets you 16-bit real mode 
that only the Intel 8088 MINIX Experience doesn't care about -- due to NVRAM; 
it just loses access to system RAM w/o CSM.



UEFI says Rock Ridge. UEFI* lists some things which translate to, "won't work 
without CSM" while hewing to Joliet without saying so, but comes as no surprise 
because Joliet's Windows. I don't think Joliet's multi-session compatible, but 
I also note, UEFI allows booting a standard .iso in a partition with an MBR -- 
not that said MBR is required to point to anything actually existing, which 
defaults to pointing to -- Windows.

Indeed. But that's the fs inside the .iso, we're trying to fit the .iso into a 
partition UEFI requires to be at least 1 MiB (which should probably be changed 
to 2).

 In xa1 mode (muiltisession CD), sectors are 2056 bytes, so that won't
 fit into 65536 ...
