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.
