on my DECstation 5000/200, I'm trying to boot from a ISO 9660 CD.

>>cnfg
 7: KN02-AA  DEC      V5.3c    TCF0  ( 96 MB)
 6: PMAD-AA  DEC      V5.3a    TCF0  (enet: 08-00-2b-1b-c1-24)
 5: PMAZ-AA  DEC      V5.3b    TCF0  (SCSI = 7)

>>cnfg 5

>>boot 5/rz5/netbsd.pmax
?IO:  5/rz5/netbsd.pmax  (bb rd)


After I made the image, I did (on pmax):

installboot -v image.iso bootxx_cd9660

then on an alpha

installboot -vs image.iso bootxx_cd9660

There is a kernel called "netbsd.pmax" in the root partition.

Any thoughts?
