Here is my 'makecd' script I use to create a release CD. See the comments
at the bottom regarding make release.
#!/bin/sh
### makecd --- Create a bootable FreeBSD install CD
## Author: Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>
# Error exit
EX_UNAVAILABLE=69
# FreeBSD release area
rel=/src/FreeBSD/release/R
# Boot blocks
boot=floppies/boot.flp
# CD-ROM root
dir=cdrom/disc1
# Move into the area
cd ${rel} || exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}
# Read CD_VERSION from cdrom.inf
if [ ! -f ${dir}/cdrom.inf ]
then
echo "$0: ${dir}/cdrom.inf missing"
exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}
fi
read version < ${dir}/cdrom.inf
cd_version=${version##CD_VERSION = }
if [ "${cd_version}" = "" ]
then
echo "$0: cd_version not defined"
exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}

# Where to save the backup
iso=/extra/gshapiro/FreeBSD.iso
# Create the ISO file
/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -A "${appid}" -P "${pubid}" -p "${pubid}" \
-o ${iso} -b ${boot} -R -J ${dir}
# Other useful commands:
