usage: $app BSD-dir [ISO-name]
Makes a bootable FreeBSD installation CD from an installation tree.
BSD-dir is the path to a directory tree suitable for placing on a CD.
You can get such a directory tree by ftp from stable.freebsd.org, in
the directory /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/.
ISO-name is the filename for the bootable ISO image. If ISO-name is not
given on the command line, then the ISO image is written to standard
output, so that it can be piped to another program, such as cdrecord, to
directory write a CDRW disc.
This program requires that you have the "mkisofs" program, which is
installed by the "mkisofs" port.
