>For the x86 platform, many BIOS's have begun to support bootable CDs.
|

The patches for mkisofs is based on the standard called "El Torito".
|
||||
Simply put, El Torito is a specification that says how a cdrom should
|
||||
be formatted such that you can directly boot from it.</P

><P
|
||||
> The "El Torito" spec says that <EM

>any</EM

> cdrom drive
|
||||
should work (SCSI or EIDE) as long as the BIOS supports El Torito. So far
|
||||
this has only been tested with EIDE drives because none of the SCSI
|
||||
controllers that has been tested so far appears to support El Torito. The
|
||||
motherboard definately has to support El Torito. How do you know if your
|
||||
motherboard supports "El Torito"? Well, the ones that support it let you
|
||||
choose booting from hard disk, Floppy, Network or CDROM. </P

><P
|
||||
> The El Torito standard works by making the CD drive appear, through
|
||||
BIOS calls, to be a normal floppy drive. This way you simply put any floppy
|
||||
size image (exactly 1440k for a 1.44 meg floppy) somewhere in the ISO
|
||||
filesystem. In the headers of the ISO fs you place a pointer to this image.
|
||||
The BIOS will then grab this image from the CD and for all purposes it acts as
|
||||
if it were booting from the floppy drive. This allows a working LILO boot
|
||||
disk, for example, to simply be used as is. </P
|
||||
><P
|
||||
>Roughly speaking, the first 1.44 (or 2.88 if supported) Mbytes of the
|
||||
CD-ROM contains a floppy-disk image supplied by you. This image is treated
|
||||
like a floppy by the BIOS and booted from. (As a consequence, while booting
|
||||
from this virtual floppy, your original drive A:
|
||||
(<TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
||||
>/dev/fd0</TT
|
||||
>) may not be accessible, but you can try with
|

<TT
|

CLASS="FILENAME"

|

>Place this image somewhere in the hierarchy which will be the source

for the iso9660 filesystem. It is a good idea to put all boot related

for example).</P

|

>One caveat -- Your boot floppy <EM

> load any initial

ramdisk via LILO, not the kernel ramdisk driver! This is because once the

||||
linux kernel starts up, the BIOS emulation of the CD as a floppy disk is
|

circumvented and will fail. LILO will load the initial ramdisk using BIOS
|

disk calls, so the emulation works as designed.</P

|

The El Torito specification requires a "boot catalog" to be created as
|
||||
well. This is a 2048 byte file which is of no interest except it is required.
|
||||
The patchwork done by the author of mkisofs will cause it to automatically
|
||||
create the boot catalog, but you must specify where the boot catalog will go
|
||||
in the iso9660 filesystem. Usually it is a good idea to put it in the same
|
||||
place as the boot image, and a name like <TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
||||
>boot.catalog</TT
|
||||
>
|
||||
seems appropriate.</P
|
||||
><P
|
||||
>So we have our boot image in the file <TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
||||
>boot.img</TT
|
||||
>,
|
||||
and we are going to put it in the directory <TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
||||
>boot/</TT
|
||||
> under the root of the iso9660 filesystem.
|
||||
We will have the boot catalog go in the same directory with the name
|
||||
<TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
||||
>boot.catalog</TT
|
||||
>. The command to create the iso9660 fs in
|
||||
the file <TT
|
||||
CLASS="FILENAME"
|

>bootcd.iso</TT

actual ramdisk. And D: or Z: is where all the installables are residing. By

using the diskcopy command of dos copy the A: image into the actual floppy

It works just like dd. You can try booting from this newly created disk to

test if the booting process is similar to that of the source CD. Then the
|

usual dd of this floppy to a file like boot.img and then rest is as usual.</P
