    Can anyone give me some pointers about how to boot a 4.9 Beta CD on a USB
    CD/RW? Or, at the very least, tell me that it doesn't work and that I
    should quit trying.

    I get the 2.88 MB floppy message and then the boot fails with the
    messages "Not ufs", "No /boot/loader" and "No /kernel".

    This same CD boots fine in a standard ATA interface CD/RW.

    Even more annoyingly, a RedHat 9.0 CD boots fine from my USB CD/RW.

    Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    -a
