About burning that first CD... I have an Acer 4432 CD-RW drive (ATAPI) which I've used to burn several copies of the 3.3 install CD. The most recent copy was burned using the /usr/share/examples/worm/burncd.sh script (modified to use the afore-mentioned drive at /dev/wcd0c), and while the files seem to be there okay, I can't boot off of the CD-R. Most of my experience with CD-Rs in the past has been on the Mac with Adaptec's Toast. So, to recap, what makes a CD-R bootable? Is it the image file (3.3-install.cd0)? Is it wormcontrol? (Not that I saw any options for this.) How do I find out if my drive is acceptable to FreeBSD? What am I missing?
