Why not burn it from FreeBSD?

Try doing a "make release" in /usr/src/release. Note that this takes
quite a while, and needs a LOT more disk space than a "make world"
does. At the end you have some directory like /foo/bar/R/cdrom/disc{1,2}
(amongst other things) which you can make an ISO filesystem from. disc2
is probably what you want.
*thinks*
It would probably be easier, thinking about it, to just do a normal
buildworld, and then "make DESTDIR=/foo/bar installworld" and then
create an ISO image of the whole /foo/bar tree. That way you don't risk
forgetting some important bits.
