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.

Peter.
