Hi all,

I've bought the 3 CD set and it came in a good-looking box.
First thing I did was make backup iso images on my HD and then to tape. I
usualy do that with software I don't want to lose.

I did a dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd1.iso

Worked fine for cd's 1 and 3, 2 gives i/o errors. No visual damage to the
CD. Is this normal or should I report this to OBSD? (2nd cd is the cd I
want to use for my Imac containing macppc stuff) I think it should have
worked but I just want to make sure before I start reporting to the
CD-makers.

Later,

Mike

Try the raw device instead of the block device,
and also add bs=2048
