This afternoon, I downloaded a "bootonly" ISO data set from an ftp site. After burning to a CD, the root directory contains a
boot directory, and two files,
boot.catalog and and
cdrom.inf.
The
cdrom.inf file identifies the version:
CD_VERSION = 7.1-RC2
The attempted boot from the CD ROM results with the following messages:
CD Loader 1.2
Building the boot loader arguments
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER . . .file not found
Looking up /boot/loader . . .file not found
Boot failed
In fact, the file
/boot/loader does exist on the CD. (252KB dated 12/23/2008 @ 6:30 AM)
I've searched the forum for similar, but no hits. Since this is a CD ROM disk, then I can't modify anything on the disk per the original "
de-ISO" operation (burned with Nero on an Windoze box). Suggestions please
