I think you could do:

disk/mk9660 -9cj -b bootdisk.img -p /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/portproto -s / image.iso

I am not sure, if they do not use another protofile in fact. However,
it comes down to use mk9660(8) with a suitable proto file. (And
portproto looks as a good point to start)

The bootdisk.img has to be listed in the proto file.

You get an image of a bootdisk with disk/format (as described in prep(8))
