Yes, we prepend a volume header to the ISO. I don't realy care if the kernel is in the volume header or the ISO part as long as it just works, but adjusting the available libsa ISO9660 support to find the iso part of the CD behind the volume header should be very simple and this makes the whole solution more flexible - now that we have accelerated X support, imagine a NetBSD destkop CD booting on O2 ;-} Martin
