CDROMs are allways 2048 bytes / block, that is a physical parameter of
the medium. If a CDROM drive does 512 / block, it does a internal 2048
=> 512 translation. So it is irrelevant if you burn a CDR with 2048 or
512 bytes / block.

I can not remember the errors I got. But back in autumn I tried to
creat a NetBSD-pmax bootable CDROM according to the NetBSD bootable
CDROM HOWTO. It was some kind of "can not load" error too.
