I do know how to burn one if such an image existed; it's generating the .iso image file in the firstplace that I'm trying to figure out... I need to download the snapshot release for the AMD64 platform, and there doesn't appear to be any ready-made ISO-IMAGES for that platform, so back to my original question... how does one take the snapshot release downloaded from snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, and generate a bootable cdrom or cdrom image file? (I know how to use mkisofs; more or less generating the boot image I can't seem to get)...
