[9fans] live cd

does anyone have handy the disk/mk9660 arguments
used to create the plan 9 live cd?  it seems that
"-9j" is not quite right.

thanks, russ.  i'm not sure why 9660srv without the -9
flag will lowercase all the files on a cd made with -9j
and not -9cj.  with the -9 flag, things aren't perfect,
either, because the ':'s get dropped.  are these bugs
in 9660srv, or do i misunderstand the situation?

(i do now realize that in any event the -c flag is preferable.)

do you know if there is any other information on
devsd than the manual pages?  in writing up the ata
raw command stuff, i realized that there are some small
differences between the manual pages and how it is
actually used.  the raw file is documented as taking
raw commands for the device, but in practice they have
been scsi cdbs.  combined sas/sata controllers
kind of beg that question.

hope that stuff didn't make you want to gouge your
eyes out.
