Writing a bootable image on-the-fly

[Tom Lisjac]

Finally got this set of commands to generate a bootable hybrid image, but would like to write it directly to the drive instead of a file, if possible:

xorrisofs -o /tmp/output.iso -iso-level 3 -full-iso9660-filenames -volid "TESTVOL1" \

             -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \

             -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \

             -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \

             -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin \

             -partition_offset 16 "/tmp/test/boot" \

             -eltorito-alt-boot -e EFI/BOOT/efiboot.img -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \

             -graft-points /data="" code=/tmp/code

Replacing -o /tmp/output.iso with -outdev /dev/sr0 produces a genisoimage related error and -o /dev/sr0 writes the data to the console. Tried breaking the command line with -- -outdev /dev/sr0 but that made another mess.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Tom
