dist: Add support for BIN/CUE images and ISO images.
Worth noting that SGI boot CDs are _NOT_ ISO-9660. For those of us used
to 2048-byte sectored discs with a raw ISO-9660 or UDF file systems, SGI
CDs are weird.
They use 512-byte sectors and a SGI disklabel like a SGI hard drive
would. They have multiple partitions (up to 16), and use the same
filesystems as they would on a hard drive.
Typically the convention is:
- 8 is used for general-purpose volume file system data
- 9 is the volume header partition, and is used to store the
layout of the volume. It *must* start at sector 0.
- 11 represents the "whole device"
https://irix7.com/techpubs/007-2825-001.pdf page 6 details all the
various conventions (note IRIX counts partitions from 0 not 1).
Our support just loads from partition 8 without considering other
partitions, since this seems to be the structure used for the foundation
discs.
