I have attempted making a bootable GNU cd.  I can get Mach booting up
until the point of mounting the root filesystem.  The iso9660fs
translator dies at this point.  Can it not be used as a root fs?  I was
looking over the sources today and since it uses libdiskfs it should
work, or is there something special that the ext2fs translator is doing?
Anyone have any ideas?
