Mounting the CD under >FreeBSD produces lower case filenames like we are used to. All this means is that the bootloader doesn't understand the RockRidge extensions to ISO9660. The ISO9660 standard only supports monocase filenames containing a single '.' and a version number (similar to VMS). It should, however, understand that a request for "kernel" is matched by the file "KERNEL" that it reports - I suspect that there's a strcmp() that should be strcasecmp() somewhere in the bootloader.
