Buring CD for UNIX on the Mac?

Who wants a stylus?
I could really use some help from Unix geek who knows Macs.

I am installing OpenBSD on my desktop, but I needed some extra files for it. So I have burnt an extra CD of what I need on OSX. But for some reason I can't read it on the BSD Live system, I was able to mount to CD, and list the directories, but not the files inside of it.

I tried to search in help files, but it only says the CD will work on Macs and Windows... so I was wondering, exactly how Mac burns CDs? Like formats or what not. Or if it is the Mac software that is burning incompatible CDs at all?

Thanks.
 
A different question (but related to the same problem): when doing a format of a flash drive in Disk Utility, using UFS, it is UFS1 Not UFS2, right? I am presuming that UFS is the same as FFS???

Ok, I guess the real question is, is it possible to mount an UFS partition created in OSX using mount_ffs under OpenBSD?
 
Usually, such LiveCDs come with ISO and FAT32 support, so there should be no need for UFS formatting.
 
From the Mac help file:
"Thie disc uses a HFS Plus/ISO 9660 hybrid format with these file systems: HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge."

Now, how does hybrid format works?? I think OpenBSD is a bit confused about it... so if I want to try burn a ISO9660 only format CD, how do I do so?
 
Toast can do it. Try looking for freeware on MU and VT. "CD burning" should give some results. You can add ISO 9660 as a search term as well.
 
THanks, but after 4 hours of googling I have already burnt the CD using hdiutil on the terminal...

Still not working.

I think the problem is on the BSD side...
