Wasn't the Surf Squirrel capable of booting off a CD? This may only have applied to CD32 games though.

CD-ROM drives don't appear in the Early Startup Menu so it would be interesting to find out at what point they are recognised by the system. It might be possible to put one of those boot selectors in your User-Startup and have it execute an S/Startup-Sequence on the CD-ROM. Might work...

So whatever MakeCD is burning to a CDR for CDTV/CD32 specifics must be similar to a bootblock on a floppy disk. Something that will boot pure code without a file system?

Does anyone have screenshots of this early startup menu for the BlizzardPPC or CyberStormPPC? I've read it also has settings for different SIMMs...

I've put this in my gallery if it's of any interest:

It shows MakeCD's options for burning bootable discs.
