Well I've been able to find this much
out...
The CD has some kind of weird 'live' CD filesystem to it... It would
seem that 386BSD 1.0 demanded you have an Adaptec 1542 controller
hooked up, and with special roms & whatnot it could 'boot' from the
CD...
Needless to say, this predates anything like IDE CDROM's or or what
most emulators will emulate.
That "Bootable CD" button on the CD cover is just a marketing fact
AFAICT. I don't have the foggiest how that was done in the pre eltorito
days on an x86.
