"SWAG" stands for "Scientific Wild Assed Guess".

It's obvious that FAT32 filesystems work, and that CD-ROMs work.
It's less obvious that FAT32 on CD-ROMs work, so my guess is that
telling the FAT32 code that it isn't supposed to try and write
to the CD might fix the problem, or putting the image on a disk
where it looks like a real filesystem might fix the problem.

Or I might be completely wrong ;-)
