What I am trying to do is basically to install FreeBSD 8.0 on a CD. I
followed these instructions to install FreeBSD on a USB stick:
http://typo.submonkey.net/articles/2006/04/13/installing-freebsd-on-usb-stick-episode-2
minus the fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs part . I just set up rc.conf to configure
the ethernet interface with DHCP and load sshd
then I am now creating an iso image with the boot image. So at the root
of the CD I will have the boot directory containing the kernel subdirectory.
I figured out about the boot image error from mkisofs. I had to copy
cdboot into the actual boot directory for the image and the path
specified by the -b option is relative to the root directory of the CD...
So should this work according to you?
Thanks!

How exactly are you creating your image?
The basic directories in a FreeBSD install iso are 'boot' (containing
the kernel that will be used for the CD boot) and a directory with the
name of the release e.g. 7.2-RELEASE. If you wish to include packages
they should be in a 'packages' directory on the root of the CD. If live
functionality is required (FreeBSD livefs CD) there are more
directories, essentially resembling the structure of an installed base
system.
