What do the c and d stand for? I had assumed (presumably incorrectly) that c=CD and d=disk. I got the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-05-20 ISO to boot, though it fails early in the boot process saying that it can't find the knoppix partition. The lnx-bbc rescue CD (version 2.1) seemed to boot properly, but it segfaulted in the later stages of the boot process. I also tried a self-built OpenBSD 3.4 CD, though it complains relatively early in the boot process that it can't find /dev/console. I've got a few versions of Windows kicking around too - I'll give them a shot shortly.
