Bootable CD BSD system?

Did you ever get the cd too boot?  I'm want to do the same thing with a
kernel that won't fit on a floppy, so this may be my only option.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, I got a boot. It complained about the absence of a loader, 
but that's expected from a blank CD. I'll post if I have any more 
trouble.

Thanks a lot, Tim.
