Good morning,
I have launched :
cd /usr/src
make -j3 buildworld (I'm in testing env, I say because -j3)
cd /usr/src/release
make -f Makefile.sysinstall release CHROOTDIR=/expert/RELENG90RELEASE
CVSROOT=/expert/ncvs RELEASETAG=RELENG_9_0 MAKE_ISOS=1
does not work out of the box directly. It gives some errors in the iso
generation part, and some warning because the own Makefile.sysinstall
does not find install.cfg.
Using the mkisoimages.sh file from RELENG_9_0 have seen that (unless
using Makefile.sysinstall with make) make release crashes because
mkisoimages.sh script tries to create an fstab file inside an /etc dir
which should be inside {$CHROOTDIR}/R/cdrom/discX/ but which is not out
of the box (as a consequence of the make release I mean unless with as I
said Makefile.sysinstall)... so in a previous instance... I modified
this script (mkisoimages.sh) for generating this etc dir in required
location and before generating fstab by this script. Release finished
this way building but CD Disc1 was not able to boot because crashed
(can't see exactly the error, it's pretty fast when appears although I
know it's in mounting root phase, and I'm not using kernel debugging
config, and the machine reboots instantly) but was solved removing this
/etc dir from {$CHROOTDIR}/R/cdrom/discX/ and regenerating the iso file
again... and makes lots of sense... because in loader.conf you are
telling to boot and use as root an mfsroot not the own cd9660 image
which is what you're specifying in /etc/fstab in the iso image. So
finally this is what has worked to me for generating the iso images of
the new release :
I have no need of packages cd... so I removed it... and same for DVD
1... because I just need Disc1 and livefs (althought I have created too
the bootonly image...)... have seen too that doc distribution is copied
now to cd1 and dvd1...
Like have a local copy of FreeBSD cvs have made a couple of commits
which have allowed me building the release and ISOS to work properly for
later being able to use for our unattended installation system. I paste
out here the cvs diffs :

If you see no problems on this changes... perhaps would be nice to
apply something like this to RELENG_9_0 in some way it does not break
make release with bsdinstall (so default Makefile) but in the way it
works for generating release and iso images for being able to use with
sysinstall (unless for having some time to change machine provisioning
systems)....
What do you think about all this?.
Thanks a lot for you're time,
Best regards.
