I think it is fair to say that such a questionwas based on the premise
that it was possible to boot from a CDROM and that I was interesting
in the OS dependant factors. As for the port I was refering to the
the i386 port how many platforms that have a NtBSD port support
booting from CDROM btw ? I know sparc's can and I imagine the boot
strap would differ a bit for them.
