Hi there

I created a bootable CD (burn image) from NetBSD 
version 1.6 alpha ISO file 'alphacd.iso' using nero 
verion 5 running under Windows XP. The procedure 
finished successfully which labelled the CD 
'NetBSD 1.6 Alpha'and created the following 
structure (as seen under Windows XP):
  alpha
    binary
      kernel
        netbsd-GENERIC.gz
        ...
      sets
        etc.tgz
        base.tgz
        ...
    installation 
      diskimage
        ...
      ...


I am able to boot NetBSD on my AlphaStation 200 4/166
but the installation is not completely successful

After choosing optin a: (Install NetBSD to hard disk)
and choosing Full installation, when it comes to the 
step  of unpacking the distribution file sets, it 
started reporting errors that it can't find 'etc.tgz'.
When I just tries to 'ignore and continue', it did not

find the next file 'base.tgz' and so on. It did spell
out the directory /alpha/binary/sets/ where it was
looking
for these files.

In one of my several repeat attempts when I
deliberately
entered a wrong directory, install reported it could
not 
find 'netbsd-GENERIC.gz' which means it was able to
find
this until then.

I suspect there is something wrong with the structure 
created as I read in NetBSD web dialogues that
Nero-created
CD may not be totally iso9660 compliant...?

Can somebody help ...please
