> Bootable ISO should be created under src/distrib/cdrom/ dir, not src/=
etc.
Respectfully, I disagree. I do not understand that there is a
good reason why we make bootable ISO images for some ports for
the setup under src/etc, while for other ports where we know how
to make an ISO image bootable, should *not* do so also for the
image built from src/etc?
The setup in src/distrib/cdrom/ is the setup for the multi-
architecture boot images, and it is overly complicated and
requires a lot more effort to use compared to e.g. the setup for
i386 in src/etc if the intended action is to build a single-
architecture bootable macppc iso image.
Please re-open the ticket.
