Here's the short version of combining what Marcus says
and your files:

% cdrecord dev=<device> -multi -audio audio.raw
(This puts on the first part of the CD, the audio
track)
% cdrecord dev=<device> -multi -xa1 data.raw
(this burns the kernel in that wacky format and closes
the CD)

My particular device name is 6,0 (or more specifically
0,6,0) because I'm using a SCSI burner. I've never
burned a CD in NetBSD using an IDE burner so I'm not
sure how to proceed with that. I think cdrecord does
it somehow.

My dreamcast is sitting there patiently asking for a
device on the network to boot from now... That part is
what I'm working on as we speak. I've got my little
Pentium 60 machine almost ready to serve up the files
(yeah, I like slow obsolete machines...) I hope to be
up soon.

Andy
