Working on a patch for that.

I couldn't figure this out yet. When I use cd:1\somepath it doesn't work
for the openSUSE DVD, there's something wrong with the ihandle. Any idea
why it doesn't work?
Here's what parted tells about the iso:
Disk openSUSE-11.1-DVD-ppc.iso: 4126MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: mac
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 512B 1535B 1024B Apple , , , , , , , , , , , , type=Apple_partition_map
2 8192B 4126MB 4126MB SU1110.001 , , , , , , , , , , , , type=Apple_HFS
works:

open_io calls open_dev which dives into forth and that's were I lost
track.
