I really appreciated the feed back. It turned out what I needed was a 700MB 
cd. That does not match the media that the 9.2 image was written on but 
using cdrecord from cdrtools version 2022.09.18 (the current version from 
pkg) worked fine using the bootonly image. Now onto Xorg. Should be easy 
right :)
