debian-7.4.0-mipsel-netinst.iso without boot sector
Hi,
while looking for test images with boot sectors for mips and mipsel,
i notice that
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/mipsel/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-mipsel-netinst.iso
delivers an ISO image without any boot sector.
The file
.disk/mkisofs
inside the image does not show the option -mipsel-boot which would
be needed to generate a DEC Boot Block for MIPS Little Endian.
Is this intentional ?
If so:
- Are there problems with the boot sectors produced by xorriso ?
- Is no boot sector needed for debian arch mipsel ?
How else is it supposed to boot the ISO ?
(libisofs once learned the mipsel boot sector layout from genisoimage,
which has it from delo and libc. Much hearsay. No own experience.)
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
