Hi gang, I'm new here. I tried searching the archives, and although I

Also posted this in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.
I downloaded the latest i386 ISOs from the freebsd.org FTP, and
burned them onto CD-RWs (I used RWs cuz I want to be sure they work
before burning them permanently) using Nero 6 on WinXP Pro (10x
disk-at-once).
I always use Nero 6 on XP to burn my CDs. They always burn at 42x.
They always work. So, Nero isn't a problem.
Hrm. Reading these two paragraphs together causes a wee flicker
of consternation in my thought process; but, it could be because
it's real late here. "I want to be sure they work before burning
them permanently" seems to me to indicate what, IIRC, is "UDF Packet
Writing" software, and I wouldn't be at all surprised is that was
a contributing factor here; however, IANAE.
I don't use UDF or Packet Writing ... keep them permanently turned
off as I never use them and they're more problems than they're worth.
I burn on CD-RWs, but with closed sessions, to test if the images
work. I don't wanna waste CD-Rs on broken images. Normally I've never
had any problems using CD-RWs for bootdisks, this is the first time.
The interesting thing is that the bootloader seems to load.
Yeah, the bootloader loads, then seems to try and load the kernel,
and then fails. But it doesn't do it with a bunch of corrupted
characters like a lot of other reports.
