I'm trying to create a bootable NetBSD cd and just realiazed that the suid
bit on all suid programs get turned off.  I've read the man pages for
mkisofs, cdrecord, mount, and mount_cd9660, but there doesn't seem to be
anything specifically mentioned that I can see that will help.  I've tried
mount with "-o suid" but this also doesn't seem to make a difference.  For
what it's worth, I've verified the binaries in question ARE suid in my cd
source tree.  Am I making some common "newbe" mistake and missing
something obvious?
