Re: Questions about make a boot CD with Debian.
Have you compiled cdrom and iso9600 support into the boot kernel? A
bootable cd from what I understand is made from a 1.44 disk image that
is added by the cd burning program as a special part of the disc.
man xcdroast or appropriate burner.
I'm not sure if lilo is bright enough to mount hdc as a block device
instead of a hardisk partition, but then again I've never tried. A
quick scan of lilo.conf man page isn't telling me anything about your
questions. Maybe the debian-bootdisks people could help.
