Having now read the installboot(8) page, it explains how to make
a bootable cdrom using cdbootblocks, booting the kernel off the
"ordinary" bit of CD. I have had another go at trying to replicate
the "bootfloppy as el-torito image" version of proceedings we used
with makeisofs, but get a non-booting coaster. So the following 2
lines are not equivalent:

mkisofs -o output.iso -b i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs \
-c boot.catalog -l -J -R -L \
/usr/src/releasedir

makefs -t cd9660 -o 'allow-multidot,rockridge,bootimage=i386;/usr/src/releasedir
/i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs' output.iso /usr/src/releasedir

This is on i386.. Thoughts?

Cheers,
