I'm trying to get 1.6B2 installed on a Sony Picturebook.  The only
problem is that the only install method I have available is the Sony
CD51 pcmcia cdrom (sorry, I don't own the USB floppy).

Not a problem, except that I need a boot image that supports pcmcia and
pcmcia cdroms.  I was thinking that bootlap may do the trick.  However,
I can't seem to create a valid boot image.

I tried the following:

cat bootlap1.fs bootlap2.fs > bootlap-tmp.fs
dd if=bootlap-tmp.fs of=bootlap-big.fs ibs=2880k obs=2880k conv=sync

And then a simple mkisofs with -b = bootlap-big.fs.

All that went well.  However, when I boot off that cd, I get the
following:

    Disk is not from the volume set?!
    Please insert disk2, and press return...

So, is there anyway to get this to work?  Thanks in advance.
