Have you compiled cdrom and iso9600 support into the boot kernel? A bootable cd from what I understand is made from a 1.44 disk image that is added by the cd burning program as a special part of the disc.
man xcdroast or appropriate burner. I'm not sure if lilo is bright enough to mount hdc as a block device instead of a hardisk partition, but then again I've never tried. A quick scan of lilo.conf man page isn't telling me anything about your questions. Maybe the debian-bootdisks people could help. --mike On 08 Aug 2001 10:34:33 -0700, MESQUITA,GIOVANI (Non-HP-Brazil,ex1) wrote: > I have used Debian to create a Boot CD.
