| Well, no, because I can't do this:
|
|   # dd if=_.disk.full of=/dev/acd0 bs=64k
|
| If I do this:
|
|   % cdrecord -v -immed driveropts=burnfree dev=1,0,0 -data _.disk.full

Try with burncd

| burncd -f /dev/acd0 data _.disk.full fixate

|
| then try to boot the machine from the CD-R, I get a "-" cursor
| for a second or two, then it switches over to the hard disks to
| boot from.
|
| Okay, it's possible I messed up the compilation options or
| something.  Is the cdrecord command above the correct procedure
| to use to build a bootable nanobsd CD-R?
