Writing an HPPA Linux CD IMAGE from NT

Hi Dean,
You need to tell the CD writter to put the iso image on the CD without
putting a filesystem around it. How you do that depends on the burning
software. Some lame software might not even do it. [[Trying hard not to
say anything nasty about NT.]
In the interest of ecumenical peace among OS's, here's how to burn a CD
from NT assuming you have NERO CD Burner software and a TDK drive...
1. Start Nero
2.Choose the menu command "File"-->"Burn CD IMAGE"
3.Choose the file type: all files (*.*)
4. Select the ISO image file
5. Now you will see a dialog, asking you, if you want to supply detailed image
parameters. This is necessary, since NERO needs to know exactly, what format
the image file has, to be able to burn it correctly.
6. Enter the following parameters:
a. Mode 1 (assuming, that you created a mode 1 image)
b. 2048 byte per sector (corresponds to a mode 1 sector)
c. 0 bytes header and trailer (assuming, the image contains only
pure ISO data and no
other special headers.
d. no swapping of scrambling (assuming that the file contains
bytes in correct order to be
written without byte swapping)
7. Click on "burn" and use and empty directory
This procedure relies on the assumption, that you have a "normal" ISO mode
1 image file. You can check this with a hex editor (maybe ultraedit,
because this program doesn't try to read the entire image into memory) and
look at offset 8000 hex (this corresponds with sector 16, where the ISO
[p]rimary [v]olume [d]escriptor is stored on CD). If you see some text
like "CD001" (the PVD magic), then burning with the above procedure should
work fine.
