Hi,

I hope someone can give a small recipe for this situation:

I am trying to find an easy way to build bootable FreeBSD CDs.

Assuming I build a system to my liking on a smallish harddisk, and  
verified that it can boot without write access to the disk. Now it is  
easy to use mkisofs to create an ISO image of that disk and burn it to  
CD, but how can I make that CD bootable, or more to the point how do I  
create the 'boot floppy' that starts this system, and which I can feed  
to mkisofs using the -b flag?

Thanks

Gerd
