will automatically run the sysinst(8) menu-based installa-

tion program, which can be used to install or upgrade a

NetBSD system. Bootable CD-ROMs also contain tools that

may be useful in repairing a damaged NetBSD installation.

Before ``make iso-image'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR must be

populated by ``make release'' or equivalent.

Note that other, smaller, CD-ROM images may be created in

the RELEASEDIR/MACHINE/installation/cdrom directory by

``make release''. These smaller images usually contain the

same tools as the larger images in RELEASEDIR/iso, but do

not contain additional content such as the distribution

sets.

Note that the mac68k port still uses an older method of

creating CD-ROM images. This requires the mkisofs(1) util-

ity, which is not part of NetBSD, but which can be

installed from pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools.
