Foolish, I can't say. Humorous? Definitely.

Let me just say that there must be a reason that something like cdfs.ifs
exists and that you can read a memory stick without have cdfs.ifs
installed.

To boot from a USB memory stick, you are going to need a numbers of things
to work correctly. First, you need a BIOS that can see the USB memory
stick at boot time and that allows the memory stick to be read with BIOS
int13 routines. Second, you are going to need a set of USB BASEDEVs that
can continue to read sectors from the memory stick after the swtich
protected mode.

This is the kind of error one would expect when trying to issue CD read
write commands to a device that hasn't a clue what you are trying to do to
it.
