DAILY/netbsd-4 CD non bootable on Mini

Hello,

coming back to running NetBSD on my mini, I downloaded and
burn the lastest netbsd-4-macppccd.iso.
when I tried to boot it according to the INSTALL.html
information, I got the following message:
----------
0 > boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc load-size=64b
adler32=64b0001
unrecognized Client Program format

ok
0 >
----------
I got the same message if I used uppercase file names.

As I had Mac OS X installed, I copied the OFWBOOT.* and
NETBSD* files to / and tried running:
----------
boot hd:3,OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD_INSTALL.GZ
----------
I ran the setup config, installing things from CD and
everything went OK.
This probably proves that the files on the CD are
correct...

I just wanted to know if the DAILY netbsd-4 CD image was
supposed to be bootable at this stage of netbsd-4
development ?

TIA,
  Jo

AFAIK, it is not supposed to be bootable as it is created by
makefs which
does not have the necesary support yet.

A bootable image needs to be created with mkisofs. The
commands reported
to do that are:

cd /usr/src/distrib/cdrom
make RELEASE=4.0 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=macppccd
RSYNC_SITE=rsync://rsync.NetBSD.org/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/&l
t;snapshot name> fetch
make RELEASE=4.0 TARGET_CD_IMAGE=macppccd
