I believe the boot image must be less than 9900 sectors to be used on a bootable cdrom. bsd.rd would be too large. -- Calomel @ http://calomel.org Open Source Research and Reference On Wed, Nov 07, 2007 at 07:45:52PM -0500, Steve Shockley wrote: Calomel wrote: You can use geteltorito.pl by Rainer Krienke.

I'm not sure I see the advantage of using 2.88 emulation, especially when bsd.rd is ~5M.

Try using cdbr as the boot record in no emulation, and put cdboot in the root directory of the CD. As it has become usual, you are right. I've tried as you suggested, and it works (I didn't really install, but booted the system up with that CD and dropped to shell, this should be enough evidence). Thank you. Here is my mkhybrid line, I would welcome other suggestions you might have ($BOOT_IMG is now cdbr per your suggestion): mkhybrid -f -l -J -T -r -L \ -c boot.catalog \ -sysid $SYS_ID \ -p $PREP_ID \ -P $PUBLISH_ID \ -V $VOL_ID \ -A $APP_ID \ -b $BOOT_IMG \ -o $ISO_FILE \ $SRC_PATH (I need to follow symlinks and allow leading dots.)

I did not test this. You are exactly right Steve, thanks. I've just generated cdrom42.fs for amd64, following your suggestion. Why not just use cdbr and cdboot? Unless you actually have a 2.88mb floppy drive. I need to create a custom CD image with cdromXY.fs. The only candidate replacement was floppy42.fs, and it seems to work. But unlike floppyXY.fs, cdromXY.fs is supposed to contain almost all of the updated drivers: cdrom42.fs The amd64 boot and installation 2.88MB floppy image that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers; ... In any case, there is no problem now. Thanks again.

You can use geteltorito.pl by Rainer Krienke. It will extract what it needs from the cdemu42.iso image and make a new cdrom42.fs image. Just takes a second.

However, there is a cdrom42.fs in cdemu42.iso for i386. But I also need the one for amd64, so I am looking for ways to create it myself too.
