Thanks to you and Peter Jeremy, I got things working by loading the vn
module into the kernel, using the sample cvs-supfile to get the CVS
repository into /home/ncvs, making /disk2/src and /disk2/release, and
doing this:
cd /disk2
cvs -d /home/ncvs/ -R co -rRELENG_4 -P src
cd src
make buildworld
cd release
make release CHROOTDIR=/disk2/release \
BUILDNAME=4.8-PRERELEASE-LOCAL CVSROOT=/home/ncvs \
RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 NOPORTS=YES MAKE_ISOS=YES NODOC=YES
(The final make took about five hours on my PIII-450 and used up a couple
of gigs of disk.) This made /disk2/release/R/cdrom/ which contains a
disc1/ and disc2/ directory, and a disc2 and miniinst ISO. No disc1 ISO,
though, which I think is strange. Why wouldn't I have it? I captured all
the output in a log, and there's no sign there that it ever tried to make
a disc1 ISO. It does the floppies, says it's "Setting up CDROM
distribution area" which shows several lines of "0 blocks," sets up /boot,
sets up the FTP area, then starts in on disc2.
