Dno't know if it will help, but here is the script I use to make FreeBSD
bootable installation CD's:
#!/bin/sh
### makecd --- Create a bootable FreeBSD install CD
## Author: Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>

#
# Make a release:
#
# make release CHROOTDIR=/src/FreeBSD/release \
# BUILDNAME=4.2-STABLE-2001-02-24 \
# CVSROOT=/src/FreeBSD/cvsrepo RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 \
# NODOC=YES NOPORTS=YES ALLLANG=no NOPORTREADMES=YES NOSRC=YES
#
# To mount/umount the ISO image:
# vnconfig /dev/vn0c /extra/gshapiro/FreeBSD.iso
# mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt
# ...
# umount /mnt
# vnconfig -u /dev/vn0c
#
# To burn the ISO file to a CD:
# cdrecord dev=0,5,0 speed=8 /extra/gshapiro/FreeBSD.iso
# Error exit
EX_UNAVAILABLE=69
# FreeBSD release area
rel=/src/FreeBSD/release/R
# Boot blocks
boot=floppies/boot.flp
# CD-ROM root
dir=cdrom/disc1
# Move into the area
cd ${rel} || exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}
# Read CD_VERSION from cdrom.inf
if [ ! -f ${dir}/cdrom.inf ]
then
echo "$0: ${dir}/cdrom.inf missing"
exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}
fi
read version < ${dir}/cdrom.inf
cd_version=${version##CD_VERSION = }
if [ "${cd_version}" = "" ]
then
echo "$0: cd_version not defined"
exit ${EX_UNAVAILABLE}
fi
# CD Parameters
appid="FreeBSD ${cd_version}"
pubid="Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>"
