Hi Daniel,

David Young pointed me at you as you're working on extending makefs(8) 
in NetBSD to create ISO9660 images and to replace 'mkisofs'. Can you let 
me know what the status of this is, esp. WRT boot support in 
emulation/non-emulation mode?

See below for some more questions. Thanks!

I have not been working on it, myself.  A group of UIUC students did
the hard work this past school year.  All that I did was to set basic
requirements, and provide some guidance and review.

Please direct inquiries to Daniel Watt, danwatt@gmail.com.  The project
documentation is on a wiki,
