Where can I find details on how to create a firmware CD?

[Tara D. Pangakis]

For Itanium-based systems, where are details on creating a firmware update CD?

Thank you.

Make Your Own Bootable Firmware CD

Thanks - and this is true for Itanium-based systems as well?

Everything you ever wanted to know about creating your own bootable CD and DVD disks for OpenVMS:

I expect you'll be familiar with the writing style. :-) And welcome to ITRC.

In most cases of the firmware distros I've worked with, unzip the image (if it's zipped) and you'll then use COPY /RECORDABLE_MEDIA or CDRECORD/CDRTOOLS to replicate the typical ISO (disk image) of the bootable disk over to the media, and off you go.
