My version of Toast won't do that. I have to mount the disk image
(which then appears to the OS as a disk) and then make a CD of that
image. I downloaded NetBSD/VAX v1.52 to test it out, but I can't get
it to work. I tried three different versions of ISO 9660 (Level 1, XA
and Joliet). The error message (in all three cases) is:
>>>boot dua3
(BOOT/R5:0 DUA3)
