In Makefile.bsdinstall:
+cdrom:
+ echo kernel_options=\"-C\" > ${DISTDIR}/release/boot/loader.conf
+ sh /usr/src/release/${TARGET}/mkisoimages.sh -b FreeBSD_Install ${DISTDIR}/release.iso ${DISTDIR}/release
+ rm ${DISTDIR}/release/boot/loader.conf
${TARGET} must be ${TARGET_ARCH} because pc98 and sunv4 don't have
mkisoimages.sh script.
Do you have a plan to add a floppy support as boot device? Pc98
machines which can boot from CD-ROM are very limited. So we usually
use FD for boot media to install.
