Contrary to published specifications many BIOSes will load an El Torito
object from the first session on media and not from the last one, which
gets mounted by default. This makes no problems with overwriteable media,
because they appear to inadverted readers as one single session.

With multi-session media CD-R[W], DVD-R[W], DVD+R, this implies that the whole
bootable system has to reside already in the first session and that the last
session still has to bear all files which the booted system expects after
eventually mounting the ISO image.

If ISOLINUX is known to be present on media then it is advised to patch it
when a follow-up session gets written. But one should not rely on the
capability to influence the bootability of the existing sessions, unless one
can assume overwriteable media.

The ISOLINUX files have to be added to the ISO image by normal means
(image loading, -map, -add, ...) and should reside either in ISO image
directory /isolinux or /boot/isolinux .
directory /isolinux or in /boot/isolinux .
In that case it suffices to use as bootspec the text "dir=/isolinux" or
