Hurrah!

Enrique,  You sussed it!

I've just burnt my first booting 2.0 CD, that even boots on my Award BIOS 
machine.

The fix is to ensure that the boot floppy image is close to the start of the 
image, which I've done by putting it under a separate top level directory, and 
naming that before the normal one on the mkisofs command line.

I just uploaded the version of debian-cd I used, and am producing 
some 2.0beta3 images in the next couple of hours.

I've done a fair amount of editing of the debian-cd scripts, so I could 
easily have introduced a bug or two (hopefully not though).  Test reports 
would be appreciated.

Info about the images can be found here:

Cheers, Phil.
