The problem with the alpha 2 image was understood (the IOCache potentially
reading beyond the end of the CD) and fixed. It could, BTW, also be
worked-around by just appending 2 MB (or more) of arbitrary data to the ISO
image before burning it. Instead of reopening the old ticket, creating a
new one would be appreciated. A test with the data-appending work-around
would be nice, too.
