iso-image-source
Create a NetBSD installation CD-ROM image in the
RELEASEDIR/iso directory. The CD-ROM file system will have
a layout as described in release(7). It will have top
level directories for the machine type and source.
For most machine types, the CD-ROM will be bootable, and
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-source'' is attempted, RELEASEDIR
must be populated by ``make sourcesets release'' or equiva-
lent.
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.

Can only be run after building the regression tests in the
directory ``regress''. Runs the compiled regression tests
