For completion's shake, before installkernel one may have to run: # cp /usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/GENERIC.hints /tmp/cdrom/boot/device.hints and then a minor nit. The -b /tmp/cdrom/boot/cdboot option should be relative to the CD-ROM root directory. Otherwise mkisofs complains and aborts. But yeah, this is a great mini-guide for making a bootable CD :)
