I've tried several versions of the firmware on my CSPPC, up to the latest G-Rex/OpenPCI compatible version, and I have been unable to boot from a CD.

I think Motorollins' original idea for a Kickstart module has some merit. The CS/Blizzard CD filesystem is old and limited. CacheCDFS can be made resident, so an app that could read in a mountlist and spit out a resident module that mounts the CD-Rom as a bootable drive seems a better option. Don't wait for me to produce one though, my coding skills are next to non-existant.  :-D
