Just for the sake of experimenting, I thought I'd try writing
NetBSD/alpha 5.0's cdhdtape file to CD and booting from it, but so
far it hasn't worked.  The steps I followed are shown below.  The
cdrecord commands were executed on a PC running NetBSD/i386 5.0.  I
used the -v option in the hope it might help to clear up the problem.

I've tried using two different CD-R/W discs in case one was damaged,
and also tried booting a 164LX with the same result as below.

Booting from a hard disk to which the same cdhdfile had been copied
worked fine.

By the way, what's the correct block size to use when writing
cdhdtape to a hard disk with dd, bs=16k as shown in

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.0/alpha/INSTALL.txt

or 18k as shown in

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.0/alpha/installation/diskimage/README.files

Both values seem to work OK.
