You also need a /boot that understant iso9660, and a installboot that can
work on iso9660.
I was close to getting one working using the OpenBSD boot blocks,
but I didn't have the time to complete it (I got a bootable cd9660 hard disk,
but then I had to rebuild the cd9660 image, and I didn't have the time to
test it on the HD before burning it. Result: the CD is not bootable :(

I think sun uses UFS partitions on his CDs, this may be another option ...
