Dno't know if it will help, but here is the script I use to make FreeBSD
bootable installation CD's:

#!/bin/sh

### makecd --- Create a bootable FreeBSD install CD

## Author: Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>

# Other useful commands:
#
#  Make a release:
#
#	make release CHROOTDIR=/src/FreeBSD/release \
#		BUILDNAME=4.2-STABLE-2001-02-24 \
#		CVSROOT=/src/FreeBSD/cvsrepo RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 \
#		NODOC=YES NOPORTS=YES ALLLANG=no NOPORTREADMES=YES NOSRC=YES
#
#  To mount/umount the ISO image:
#	vnconfig /dev/vn0c /extra/gshapiro/FreeBSD.iso
#	mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt
#	...
#	umount /mnt
#	vnconfig -u /dev/vn0c
#
#  To burn the ISO file to a CD:
#	cdrecord dev=0,5,0 speed=8 /extra/gshapiro/FreeBSD.iso

# 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}
fi

# CD Parameters
appid="FreeBSD ${cd_version}"
pubid="Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>"

# 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}
