>Description:
In file: "http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/bootcd.html",
Paragraph "Examining the CD image", mounting the cd image
on vnd0a produces a file system that can be listed  but cannot
produce the correct file data causing checksum tests to fail.

In paragraph "Using mkisofs" mkisofs nolonger uses the -a option.
>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
Change vnd0a to vnd0c (vnd0d port-i386)
and remove the -a flag from the mkisofs example.
