Re: Announcing FreeSBIE GMV

Hi,
I tried the image and was really impressed. WOW!. Thank you!
I personally would like to see shells/zsh.

My first try was to use a CD-RW to test the image. This
didn't work out and showed repeatedly the following errors
during boot time:

acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x02 ascq=0x00 
...
acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x44 ascq=0x00 

and subsequent couldn't populate the filesystems (cpio complained).

Thank you very much

Oliver
