I've asked about this before. So that's my howto:
1. You will need the while cvs repository preferablely on local hard disks.
You can get it by cvsuping 'cvs-all' target.
2. cvsup complete src tree to your /usr/src or any other place you are usually
place your source tree. (we'll call it $SRCDIR)
3. You'll need a lot of free space (about 1.6-2Gb)
Also, create some dir where you want to put release files, there should be
about 1Gb free.
4. cd $SRCDIR/release
make release CVSROOT=here_your_cvs_repo BUILDNAME="4.2-STABLE" \
RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 CHROOTDIR=your_dir_where_to_put_release_files
(maybe I'm missing some flags, but now I have no source tree to look at.
5. wait some hours/days depending on your hardware and disk speed :))
6. when it will finish,
cd $CHROOTDIR/R/cdrom/disc1
mkisofs -o ~/FreeBSD-4.2-STABLE-image.iso -J -r -b floppies/boot.flp
7. burn it on CD using burncd for example.
P.S. Maybe it worth to include this in handbook?

The instructions said to install Windows 98 or better,
so I installed FreeBSD.
