Win98 reads them. I had a short try with BL3: the same kernel as 
BL2, same problem

Is it correct that the message

    isofs_read_super: root inode not initialized 

comes from the kernel whereas the messages "mount:" are issued by 
the mount command? 

I would like to find out whether 

a) the problem is due to a lack of functionality in the DOS port of
cdrecord or

b) there is a way to make linux read those CD burnt in DOS (at worst 
by upgrading to a different kernel)
