You're better off netbooting, as Andrey pointed out.  If you still
want to try to make a CD, you should take a look in /sys/lib/dist
and /sys/lib/dist/pc.  It's been months since I went through the
process but I believe I had to make some tools under /sys/lib/dist/cmd
first, then build under /sys/lib/pc.  I believe I had to take a
few items from a previous cd as well.  Its a little convoluted
because the normal build process described by the mkfile uses some
files that aren't part of the public distribution.

I know its a little vague, but hopefully it helps you get started.
