thank you for fast reply, but can i boot with UDF? "Please refer to the "OSTA Native Implementation Specification" document for information on the Boot Descriptor." that's the only sentense about boot in UDF.
I honestly don't know. I failed to find the "OSTA Native Implementation Specification" document, and "Universal Disk Format Specification Revision 2.60" (the latest version as far as I know) says:

T.B.D.
"T.B.D." is an abbreviation for "To Be Done", which means they still haven't done it yet.
As far as I've been able to tell, UDF disks that are bootable are actually using UDF to store normal files/directories on the majority of the disk, but also have a minimal ISO9660 file system in a different area of the disk to allow them to keep using El-Torito for booting.
[EDIT] Now consider EFI, where a UDF disk would contain an ISO9660 area which contains an "EFI system partition" in FAT32...

Yo dawg, we heard you like file systems; so we put a file system in your file system in your file system...."
