I just found out why cd boot was broken... while I actually fixed the
build system to put the tgz archive after zbeos in the floppy image,
the loader was still looking for it at 192k...
Though we still use the 2-track scheme which was thought to be too
complex for people to burn. We also said we wouldn't ship CDs until R1/
alpha, so better get it out quick :)
But you can still build your own:
jam -q haiku-image
jam -q haiku-boot-cd
And burn it with:
cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -eject -v -dao -data generated/haiku-boot-
cd.iso generated/haiku.image
