Here is my result with some releases:
			 CD bootable
1.4.2			     yes
1.5_ALPHA2 (1st rel.)	     no
1.5_ALPHA2 (2nd rel.)        yes
1.5_ALPHA2 (3rd rel.)        no
1.5_BETA (1st rel.)	     yes	
20001014-current             yes

My CD-ROM/R/RW drive is AOpen CRW9624.
What differences make a CD bootable or not?
