i have this some problem on real hardware when i used CD iso image, in virtualbox too.

After comparing with other images of the same revision, the problem seems related to the symbolic link in /boot/system/bin :

• in a working image, sh points to bash
• in the ISO, sh is a directory as it points to "../"

Does this occur on ISOs only from haiku-files or even ones that are self-built?

[oco]

The problem occurs on a self-built gcc2 image too (jam haiku-cd).

The link is ok in generated/tmp/cdsource/system/bin.

Sounds like a possible issue with mkisofs or one of the other cd image generation tools then. In any case, duplicate of #8369.
