El Torito part of the EDD3 spec might not be accessible if you have not

be case with VMWare which uses Phoenix BIOS. I once tested out those
CD-ROM access API's, but problem is that those devices are not exposed
by BIOS when booted from floppy or from HDD. Eg. when you enumerate all
devices, CD-ROM drives are not listed at all thus cannot be accessed.
That may be a problem...
But then again... I noticed that your device id was 0xe0 which I think I
may have not tried out. I had much better success with directly using ATA :)
I got that through random probing... I probed for all drives which
presented EDD 3 extensions, and 0xe0 was the only one.. It turned out
it was actually the CD-ROM :) Is there any standard device numbering
algorithm used by BIOSes?
If you have floppy image, I can try it out in VMWare and tell results
what happens.
Sure, I'll send it tonight, when I get home... Thanks!
