Hi folks, I recently experimented around a little, and found out that creating a custom FreeBSD release is a rather straightforward thing. I did it just as explained in /usr/src/release/Makefile, and in the end I ended up with a nice distribution that I could burn to CD as well as with a bunch of floppy images that I could dd to /dev/fd0 so that I ended up with a way to boot into the installation process of my "home-made" release. Now, I guess it should be possible somehow to actually make the release CDs I burn bootable. I have noticed that mkisofs can create bootable CD images, but I still didn't fully figure out how to actually get it done. So, if anyone's ever done this (I guess so), I'd appreciate a short explanation of what to do after "make release" and before burning the release CDs, so that I can actually boot the installation straight from the CDs.
