Does anyone know which type of CD it should boot? CD32 games (whether or not they work)? ISO9660 with s/startup-sequence? Or some other format?

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

@LawlessPPC
What version of the firmware did you use before, when it did work? And what format of CD did you boot from?
