David,
I thought a bit more about bootxx_cd9660 yesterday...
right now it seems one cannot do anything useful after interrupting the 5
second count-down, e.g.
1) "ls" gives
> ls
: Not a directory
2) Cannot boot another kernel even when knowing the name:
> boot netbsd-NOON
booting cd0a:netbsd-NOON
open netbsd-NOON: No such file or directory
boot: cd0a:netbsd-NOON: No such file or directory
>
I think having this available would be the very least to make a bootable
CD that has several kernels on them, i.e. thinking of the many i386
INSTALL* kernels we have right now.
Do you happen to know how to fix this? It's certainly beyond me...
