I've found it both interesting and frustrating that none of the
people who HAVE gotten things to work have chosen not to
ditch the Wintel tools and provide a way to bootstrap via
mkisofs/cdrecord and other opensource tools.
Does anyone know why DiskJuggler/Nero are still being used when
opensource/NetBSD alternative's like mkisofs and cdrecord exist?
I find it VERY puzzling that a NetBSD group would advocate using
a wintel rather than a pure BSD solution...
Since I neither have, nor have access to, WinTel abominations I've
basically given up on ever having NetBSD/Dreamcast running. B^(.
I've noticed the list pretty much went dead after Marcus(?) stopped
regular posts. Don't know if Jason ever trolls these parts or not.
