Hi!

I'm going to make bootable CD containing different versions of FreeBSD
(f.e., 3.5-somedate-STABLE I built and 4.3-RELEASE). 
They say 

mkisofs -boot b ... -eltorito-alt-boot -b ...

will create image capable of booting one of the versions.
Are there 'magic' subdirectory names for releases so sysinstalls 
will find their files?

Well, I can add mound_cd9660 to boot.flp's, manually mount CD before
installation process starts (having started shell from glossary)
and perform installation from 'existing filesystem'.
But if sysinstall is able to install not only from root of
CD, that whould be nice.

Eugene
