Ooh, forget anything you know about Linux when dealing
with BSD... There's no /boot, no vmlinuz (it's not
Linux!) and no lilo. The kernel image in those
tarballs is not the one to use, you have to burn the
kernel seperately onto another disc by a special
method that puts an audio track first in line.

In the how to, it says you need to download a kernel
image. There is a link to the kernel images, and one
in particular for the DiscJuggler program to burn
under windows. That's the one I used. If you download
DiscJuggler, it's pretty simple from there. So burn
that, then extract all the coff hpcsh tarballs to a
directory and burn them to a CD as well. Then follow
the directions on booting and you should be there.
