Subject: a different twist on the boot disk Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2002 09:13:45 -0500 Message-ID: <FEDF8BF5FC2C7B47943BE6638462E8A1103855@kcexch1.celeritas.com> From: "Becker, Rob" <Becker@celeritas.com>
Has anyone created a bootable cd using Linux tools (ie mkisofs and cdrecord)??
How is this accomplished? I would like to take a windows 98 boot disk and create a bootable cdrom from it. I have used dd to create an image of the 98 floppy, but I'm unclear as to what parameters I need to pass mkisofs in order to create a bootable cd image with that 98 image.
I know that I need to use the -b and -c flags as stated in the cd-writing howto, but I'm a bit confused as to what the -c flag take as a parameter? What is the boot catalog? What does it need to contain and is there a specific format for it? Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Rob
