I think what Simon means is: Sun (and some DEC CD drives) have physical
blocksizes of 512 byte, emulated by the drives firmware.

Even if it is, we still have nothing to lose, because there's no platform
that have cd9660 support in their bootloaders. When it becomes a real
problem, we can easily fix it.



Uh? The El Torito spec uses the ISO9660 format. BIOS's for i386 platforms have been using this
since 1995, or how do you think a PC boots off of a CD at all?
