In previous private e-mail, I sent you a description of every file in cd45.iso. In previous private e-mail, I asked you what you saw, from any other OS, when you mounted the disc. I've received no replies. In the hope that those e-mails went into the bit bucket, and you never saw them, I will resend, publicly, the file descriptions I had previously sent. Please let us know if your content matches this: ./4.5 directory ./4.5/i386 directory ./4.5/i386/boot.catalog El Torito boot catalog ./4.5/i386/bsd.rd OpenBSD ramdisk kernel ./4.5/i386/cdboot OpenBSD second stage boot loader ./4.5/i386/cdbr El Torito first stage boot loader ./4.5/i386/TRANS.TBL CD9660 translation table ./4.5/TRANS.TBL ditto ./etc directory ./etc/boot.conf boot configuration ./etc/TRANS.TBL see above ./TRANS.TBL ditto If your content matches, then as I'd written previously in private e-mail, try cdemu45.iso. That version is required if your BIOS requires large diskette emulation to boot an El Torito disc. It would be unusual, but not impossible. Or, you can give up. Either way, the choice is yours.
