dist: Add support for
BIN/CUE
images and ISO
images.
Worth noting that SGI boot CDs are _NOT_ ISO-9660. For those of us used to 2048-byte sectored discs with a raw ISO-9660 or UDF file systems, SGI CDs are weird. They use 512-byte sectors and a SGI disklabel like a SGI hard drive would. They have multiple partitions (up to 16), and use the same filesystems as they would on a hard drive. Typically the convention is: - 8 is used for general-purpose volume file system data - 9 is the volume header partition, and is used to store the layout of the volume. It *must* start at sector 0. - 11 represents the "whole device" https://irix7.com/techpubs/007-2825-001.pdf page 6 details all the various conventions (note IRIX counts partitions from 0 not 1). Our support just loads from partition 8 without considering other partitions, since this seems to be the structure used for the foundation discs.
