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