Do I use the same boot block that is used for a hard drive?
And how do I get the boot block recorded onto a CD-R?

1. CD-R devices and creating bootable cds
I have a Philips CDD 2600 connected to a Solaris 2.5.1 box, and I
have a need to construct a bootable Unix CD with several partitions
on it.
I've created CDs using the free utilities "cdrecord" and "mkisofs"
before, but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to do what I
want with these tools in this case.
So, I guess these are my questions:
1. Can I make a bootable CD with cdrecord? Can I make a CD that
solaris will see as having several partitions with cdrecord?
2. If not, are there other free utilities out there that will do
what I want?
3. If not, is there something commercial that will get the job
done?
Thanks in advance for any light you guys can shed on this subject.
