I'm trying to make a bootable NetBSD 2.0.2 CD under Windoze and when I use the command line below, mkisofs says it can't find the file boot-big.fs which is in the root dir where I'm running the command line from. I'm running it from a batch file, and I can run the same line on my OpenBSD files with no problem. Why does mkisofs say the file is not there when it is? It can find the boot image file for openbsd when I run that batch file. I've looked at the two batch files very carefully, and the only difference are the file names and the directories where the files are. Anyone got any ideas? BTW, I'm using mkisofs 1.13a03 (i586-pc-cygwin) under XP.
I don't remember exactly, but i just have this feeling that the boot-big.fs supposed to be put in the 'D:/Files/Disks/NetBSD/cdsources' directory? Just an idea.
You're right, in windoze the standard filename delimiter is the backslash (\). To escape characters on windoze you just enclose the file spec in quotes ("), so they can use both slashes interchangeably i think, but it might be worth using backslashes just to be sure... you know what windoze can be like.
