Not really.

At least on the alpha, it's pretty simple:

	(1) use mkisofs to create the iso-9660 file system image,

	(2) use installboot_cd9660 to slap a boot block on to
	    that image (needs "boot" to be in the file system),

	(3) test it, either by dd'ing to a disk and trying to boot
	    (for a complete test), or by configuring the disk image
	    file as a vnd then mounting it and looking around,
	    checksumming, etc.

Once you're satisfied that the image looks right, you can burn it on
to a CD-ROM with whatever means are appropriate to your environment.
