FreeBSD 5.2.1 and CD9660_ROOT bootable cdroms

Hello,
I just upgraded from FreeBSD 4.10 and installed FreBSD 5.2.1.
I am trying to recreate the bootable cdrom I used to have only
with 5.2.1 and am having little luck.
I used to use vnconfig so I replaced with mdconfig, I used to
use disklable and replaced with bsdlabel. The old instructions
I used were here ->
http://home.earthlink.net/~joseph-ja/FreeBSD_cdrom.html
I replaced using gzip with kgzip.
I have gotton the cd to actually boot and then it says
decompressing kernel, the kernel gets decompressed and then it
just stops.
On one line it has
/kernel.kgz text=0x165d data=0xec386=0x10506
syms=[0x4+0x460+0x4+0x1f3]
The next line has
\
And it just sits there and does nothing.
It just stops. Do I need to replace CD9660_ROOT with
something else in the kernel or somewhere else ( boot -C is used
now)? Do I need to tell the kernel something else?
My old 4.10 cd still boots fine, but its a little out of
date.
I have looked at cdroot and it looks like it is still
designed for 4.x series.
I dont want to use Fresbie, because I don't need all that on
my router / firewall. I also don't see any reason to use
picobsd, when I can get 4.10 working.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
