Building a release is similarly simple; something like
cd /usr/src
make buildworld buildkernel
cd release
make NODOC NOPORTS NOPKG [memstick|disc1]

(from memory); the main thing I stumble on is remembering where the
build artifacts are and whether I want memstick or disc1 for the
particular use case.
