Booteable CD from partboot-1.2.11.img

[Ruediger Nitsch]

Hi Andrew,

the boot disk from  partboot-1.2.11.img works fine on my desktop, but my
notebook doesn't have a floppy drive, instead it has a cd-rom drive. I have
tried to build a booteable cd from the floppy with the procedure described in
the CD-Writing-Howto
(http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.11) and the
docu of mkisofs and cdrecord. But this fails, the screen of my notebook looks
like this:

Loading......................................
Uncompressing Linux...

invalid compressed format (err=1)

 -- System halted



Do you have any ideas?

BTW: I can't mount the img file via the loop device, because mount can't auto
detect the filesystem. Wich filesystem do you use for the img file?

Thanks
Rüdiger Nitsch
