Hi,

Oh. You already tested.
And ? Did it boot ?

Even better: i now tested that omitting
-boot-info-table really prevents the patcher
function.

Because mkisofs doesn't do that, afaik.
One never knows what happens if one deviates from
the old ways by default.
(See Joliet and grub 1.96. I now go the old
way by default. So grub-mkrescue 1.96 boots from
CD.)

Ahum. More than one boot table entry.
Would they point to different boot images ?
I.e would we have
-b <BIOS-image> [-boot-info-table] --efi-boot <EFI-image>
Is it possible to get an exact prescription, what
info to write at which byte in the boot catalog ?
I have a PDF: El Torito 1.0, January 25, 1995.
Figure 1, "Multiple Boot-Image Configuration"
seems to be what you intend.
I will try to match this with the existing code
in libisofs (by Vreixo Formoso).

I learned meanwhile that there is a feature
"weight" in libisofs by which one can influence
the sequence of the data LBAs. An IsoNode with
high weight will get a low LBA.
So this is merely a matter of suitable options
in xorriso, by which one can put weight on files.

Have a nice day :)
