To generate a diff of this commit:
cvs rdiff -r1.44 -r1.45 src/usr.sbin/installboot/installboot.8

Cool, thanks for this!
Can we tweak it a bit to say

.Dl Ic makefs -t cd9660 -o 'bootimage=i386;cdrom/bootxx,no-emul-boot' \
       boot.iso cdrom

i.e. add single quotes to protect the ";" plus add the right path to the bootxx file? That seems to work better for me. Not that I could boot it in qemu or bochs... :(
