Good morning,

So for generating new ISOS working with Sysinstall and the previous 
mfsroot and so but in 9.0-RELEASE... I should do something like (I paste 
the steps I follow for generating updates isos of a release, and here I 
apply the change suggested) :

/usr/src and /usr/obj are empty...

/usr/local/bin/cvsup /var/cvsup/cvs-supfile
cd /usr
cvs -R -d /expert/ncvs co -r RELENG_9_0 src
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
mkdir /expert/RELENG90RELEASE
/etc/rc.d/adjkerntz start
adjkerntz -i
cd /usr/src/release/
make -f Makefile.sysinstall release CHROOTDIR=/expert/RELENG90RELEASE 
CVSROOT=/expert/ncvs RELEASETAG=RELENG_9_0 MAKE_ISOS=1


This should generate a freebsd releng_9_0 isos with sysinstall and 
mfsroot.... and all tools for installing Jumpstart in previous ways, 
wich basically where like the pdf I attached, isn't it??... and that I 
have sent some time to these lists in order it could help someone 
else...

And finally....

How should then the proper way to extract the content of an iso file... 
as I said before... I just do (till now and worked fine) : "tar -C 
/expert/netboot/freebsd8 -pxvf 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso"...

Thanks a lot for all you're great help!!!.

Best Regards,
