In order to create a working cdrom image you need:

	An INSTALL kernel with an embedded miniroot.

	A corresponding ofwboot.

	A bootblock.

You need to create a filesystem, populate it with ofwboot and
the INSTALL kernel.  Then install the bootblock on it.  This is
the image you need to feed to mksunbootcd or mkisofs to put into
the bootable partition.

Or you could grab ftp:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/kernels/cdimage.iso.gz
and see if it works.
