> Description:
The 'iso-image' target in /usr/src/etc/Makefile could be a bit
friendlier.
(1) It doesn't tell mkisofs to put a volume name on the CD image, so
mkisofs defaults to "CDROM"

(2) It puts the binary images in a directory different than sysinst
expects them.

> How-To-Repeat:
	make iso-image.  Mount the CD-ROM, use it to install.

> Fix:
For part (1), I suggest this addition to MKISOFS_FLAGS:
	-V NetBSD-`sh ${BSDSRCDIR}/sys/conf/osrelease.sh`
which will set the volume label to, e.g. NetBSD-1.5.1

For part (2), I guess the user needs to know in advance to move
$RELEASEDIR/* to $RELEASEDIR/${MACHINE}/*, and to move in any other
architectures they want on the same disk.
It would be nicer if there were some automatic way for ${RELEASEDIR} to
at least get the current architecture's distribution parts in the right
directory from the top of the CD-ROM.
