I was expecting that the CD would have an ffs filesystem on it - you're
saying that ufs would be necessary?  So an Ultrix system would be needed to
make the diskimage, correct?

Also, I don't see an option in 'cdrecord' to write 512-byte sectors - I sent
a note to the author to ask if this is feasible.
