NetBSD 1.5 ALPHA 2. I386 version. 

>Description:

	When I create the bootable cd-rom using "mkisofs -b boot-big.fs
	-c boot. catalog ..." and I am using the boot-big.fs file from
	the NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA2/i386/installation/floppy directory the
	boot from that cd-rom does not work. It loads the bootstrap
	loader, but while loading kernel it fails with error:

	>> NetBSD/i386 BIOS Boot, Revision 2.7
	>> (fvdl@sushi, Mon Aug 21 15:41:03 MESG 2000)
	>> Memory: 637/129984 k
	Use hd1a:netbsd to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed
	Press return to boot now, any other key for boot menu
	booting fd0a:netbsd - starting in 0

	boot: fd0a:netbsd: Unknown error: code 0
	booting fd0a:netbsd.gz
	open netbsd.gz: No such file or directory
	...

>How-To-Repeat:

	Create cdrom using the mkisofs using following command and
	try to boot from that:

	NAME="NetBSD Boot"
	mkisofs -b boot-big.fs -c boot.catalog -A "$NAME" -V "$NAME" -r -P 'NetBSD' -o $BASEDIR/boot.img -l . 
	cdrecord -multi -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 $BASEDIR/boot.img

	The cd will work if I use old boot-big.fs (fvdl@frank, Sun Aug
	6 00:51:46 MEST 2000) from the
	NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA/i386/installation/floppies. 

>Fix:

	Use older boot-big.fs image.
