I think you mis-understood me; there isn't an .iso image file to burn. I do know how to burn one if such an image existed; it's generating the .iso image file in the firstplace that I'm trying to figure out... I need to download the snapshot release for the AMD64 platform, and there doesn't appear to be any ready-made ISO-IMAGES for that platform, so back to my original question... how does one take the snapshot release downloaded from snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, and generate a bootable cdrom or cdrom image file? (I know how to use mkisofs; more or less generating the boot image I can't seem to get)... Anyone? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David O'Brien" <obrien@freebsd.org> To: "Communications Machine" <ITStaff@wmptl.com> Cc: <amd64@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:57 PM Subject: Re: How to install snapshot release? > On Thu, Oct 21, 2004 at 09:58:16AM -0400, Communications Machine wrote: > > Odd question here, but have been unable to figure this one out... > > > > Downloaded the 'current' snapshot from snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, but how do > > I create a bootable cdrom from this stuff? > > If you have SCSI or ATAPICAM: > > # cdrecord -scanbus > # cdrecord -v dev=<specification from above> foo.iso > > Or if you have pure ATA burner, 'man burncd' the exact line to use is in > the examples. > > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) >
