>Description:
On my Jensen (DECpc AXP 150) I can't boot any of the 1.6 branch
cdhdtape images off CD. The initial bootstrap comes up fine, but
loading the kernel fails. The CDs appear to have been burned
properly, since I can read them and get the same image contents
back. A 1.6 ISO image loads the kernel fine, as does a 1.6L cdhdtape
image, so the problem seems to be confined to the 1.6 branch
cdhdtape images.

Here are the error messages for a number of versions:

1.6 ustar 1.3 (Sep 8 2002) - 8084288+227040@@@@@@@@lseek section headers: invalid file offset
1.6_STABLE ustar 1.3 (Nov 22 2002) - 8086928+227040@@@@@@@@@lseek section headers: invalid file offset
1.6.1_RC1 ustar 1.3 (Feb 14 2003) - 8081880@@@@@@@@@read text: Input/output error

>How-To-Repeat:
	Burn the respective cdhdtape images to CD and try booting them.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
