ISO 9660 on HD partition

fitzov · 04-11-2007, 10:20 AM

Don't worry about why...

What would be the problem with making a "cd-filesystem emulation" on a HD partition? Say, for example, I use

dd ... bs=2048 seek=16

from an iso image to a raw partition

maybe I wouldn't need the seek=16 or the bs=2048 if writing directly from a CD image.

any thoughts on this before I try it?

(I know you can mount such an image with mount -t cd 9660 ..., but I wan't to be able to boot from it)

Saying not to worry why, will set off red flags for about 99% of the people in the forum. It makes people think that you are up to no good.

I doubt 99% of the people on the forum will refuse to help me if I'm up to no good, but the point is to preempt "Why would you want to do that?" responses.
