Potato ARM CDs are not bootable as at the time of last fettling there were no
ARM machines capable of booting from a CD. You might well need different CD
boot code for different systems which may cause probs in future, but if there
is some code for making it work on CATS boxes now I can put it in the
Boot-floppies CVS (next time Ido an update) if someone sends me it....
