Description

neb-cd512 is specifically designed for NetBSD. Due to some limitations in the system, FFS filesystems will not work on disk layouts other than 512 bytes/sector. It is not possible to access an FFS filesystem on media layouted in other units (e.g. CD-ROM, 2048 b/s). neb-cd512 recalculates a disklabel of a non-512-medium to be in 512 b/s format. The purpose of it is the possibility to access CDs/DVDs with FFS or FFS inside cgd(4) filesystems.
