With the recent changes to /boot/cdboot FreeSBIE is almost irrevelent.
I just got done stripping it out of a project for work, it's build
process is complicated and overkill for a lot of projects.

You can create a perfectly usable live-cd by doing:

make installkernel installworld distribution DESTDIR=3D/some/dir
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/screen && make install DESTDIR=3D/some/dir
=2E..
=2E..
=2E..
cd /some/dir
mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -R -U -V Uberl33t -p Uberl33t \
    -o /usr/wherever/Uberl33t.iso .
