It was in /ports/sysutils. I built the utility and made a new .iso. One of the parameters that setcdboot requires is the < boot path> as well as the name of my new .iso. I tried the root directory `/' as the boot path and DKA400 was at least accessed, but then the I got a `boot failure'. Should the I set the boot path to `/boot/cdboot' or something else. When using this utility is it still necessary to have `mkisofs' write boot blocks to the .iso or is it only required that I use `setcdboot' to make the cd bootable. Alpha's are certainly special in a lot of ways.
