make release: how I do make it into a bootable cd?

[Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira]

Hi,

        I know I should know better. Please do not flame me.  Well,
I did a good 1st make release on my little stable (cvsupped
07/08/2000) machine. I have disc[12] under cdrom. Everything looks
fine. But .... (there is always a but)

        Does anyone have a 'burn the CD' cookbook? This is what I
have so far (pretty obvious); of course, the same applies to disc2.
        
        1) mkisofs -o disc1.iso -R -J disc1 
        - create a filesystem with RockRidge and Joliet extensions
        2) cdrecord -v speed=s4 dev=something disc1.iso

        However, I have a few doubts:

        1) What sort of device should I use? cdrecord -scanbus is
not returning anything. I am trying to use an ATAPI recorder but
I do not know what to use. Besides, what should I use for my cdrom
reader? Trying /dev/acd0c for my recorder returns

        1) (cont.) I could use burncd but I am bugged by the fact
that I can't use cdrecord. :) The devices are a Sony CRX100 CDR
and a Plextor Ultraplex 40max CDRom.

        2) How do I make it a full-fledged FreeBSD bootable
distribution CDRom? I mean, where do I get the el-torrito boot
image? How do I make it use it and then run sysinstall seamlessly?
Just like a disc1 from distribution.  Well, FreeBSD distribution
won't be comming to town anytime soon and I only have a 33.6K
connection to the internet; therefore, this would really prove
handy while I wait. Can I try the /boot/cdboot stuff or the
floppies/boot.flp as a boot image?

        3) Any tips to make it a complete distribution CDRom are
welcome.

        Regards,
                Mario Ferreira

ps: Looks like this belongs in, yet, another FAQ entry.
