Hey Karsten, *, I found a way to create the boot sector without loop mounting the iso filesystem. flo@split:~$ isoinfo -i /tmp/test -Rl Directory listing of / drwxr-xr-x 3 1750 1750 4096 Mar 29 2002 [ 28] . drwxr-xr-x 3 1750 1750 4096 Mar 29 2002 [ 28] .. -rw-r--r-- 1 1750 1750 1032 Jun 16 2001 [ 34] bmark.S -rw-r--r-- 1 1750 1750 10919 Jun 16 2001 [ 35] cfg.c [...] "isoinfo" lists the content of the disk - When you use the "-R" it shows the full filename (Or -J if using Joliet Extensions). The 5th column shows the size of the file. The 9th column shows the extent of the file which is basically the block number. So retrieving the bmark.S file one would do dd if=/tmp/test of=/dev/null count=1 skip=34 bs=2048 The bootsector then would use columen (9 * 4) as the start block and ((column 5+511)/512) as the no of blocks to read.
