localsrc/releng/autobuild/etc/autobuild.conf disables the iso-image
target for mac68k and riscv. Let me run a quick check that it doesn't
explode building an iso-image for netbsd-9 and netbsd-10 and I'll
propose changing it to build mac68k by default.

how about for macppc?

localsrc/releng/release-prep.txt also has notes on the special manual
steps to build the mac68k and macppc iso images. It would be nice to
make them go away (longer term goal :)

I would *love* to help getting mac68k, macppc and hp300 boot
improvements pulled up to -10 :-p
