Hi,
I've used both cdrecord on netbsd and the MacOS/X disk utility to burn ISOs.
If your question is:
I have a list of files, one of which is a netbsd booter and another of which
is a netbsd kernel, how do I build a bootable ISO for macppc from that?
then there is a netbsd bootable CD howto under to documentation link off of
the netbsd.org page.
For OF 1.x you can get away with less just by using a iso9660 cd and typing
a hideous command line at the OF prompt. It's documented in the install
instructions.
For my OF 3.0 system I type yet another hideous command line (which is
quite similiar to the OF 1.0 line) which reads ofboot.xcf off of the
hard disk from a HFS partition and that can then read the kernel off
of a iso9660 CDROM.
cheers
bruce
