I've made multi-architecture bootable CDs before and will again, available
from ftp://ftp.iastate.edu/pub/NetBSD/iso-local/README.html, but I also
include the (primitive) script I use to create them, as well as a link to
the NetBSD documentation I used to create the script.  If you're only
creating i386 bootable CDs, all you need is the install tree layed out
as /cdsources/i386/*, and the mkisofs command line
mkisofs -v -v -o /path/output.iso -b i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs \
   -c boot.catalog -no-iso-translate -l -J -r -L /cdsources |& tee /tmp/mkhybrid.log
