  The reason this isn't being built as part of the pp release process is 
that it hasn't been determined what the mkisofs switches are to create a 
bootable hybrid 9660/HFS image and also deal with the hard links that 
FreeBSD creates without blowing out the size beyond a CD.

  So here's a call to action for ppc hackers: experiment and see if you 
can work out what the magic incantation is. Start off by looking at the 
scripts in src/release/powerpc.

later,

Peter.
