 Aha? Great! :-) This eases the process. Anyone have mkisofs for NetBSD?

 I am not sure if understand this correctly. There is no way telling the BIOS to
boot from CD rather than from C: ? *Faint memory* Hm, you might even be right,
poor PC-Users :) 

 So they need the Bootfloppy to be able to mount the CD and then start-off the
rest of the system? 

 Anyway, i don't believe Amiga can either. No RDB. And requires CD-driver in ROM.
So we have to deal with a Bootfloppy or at least a 'loadbsd' and 'special.netbsd'
startable from CD. 

 Hm, i could be in need for a new flag in loadbsd: -boot_from_cd_but_don't_use_-b_flag
is that hard to do?
