growisofs with -b problem
I am trying to create a bootable DVD disk using nd-1300a. which is DVD+-RW
drive.
0,0,0 0) '_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-1300A ' '1.05' Removable
The machine is 850Mhz Celeron RH9.0, kernel 2.4.20-8
OS is RH9
BTW, if this is not the proper forum - my apologies and please suggest a
better one.
Q1: is it possible to boot from a DVD disk?
I was able to create DVD disk with a following command:
tar -cv ./me/rpm |
/mnt/linux2/home/me/erikel/tools/dvdPrw/dvd+rw-tools-5.9.4.4.4/growisofs -Z
/dev/scd0=/dev/fd/0 -b
/home/me/erikel/tools/tomsrtbt/tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img -c boot.cat
However my computer would not boot from that DVD+rw disk.
Q2: Why not? or is the answer to Q1 is "no"?
So then I tried:
#
/mnt/linux2/home/me/erikel/tools/dvdPrw/dvd+rw-tools-5.9.4.4.4/growisofs -b
tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img -c boot.cat -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J /tmp/me.tar
But this command could not find the image file?
Q3: Did I specify the wrong path?
Complete command history with a couple version of the last command is below
