I'm kinda stuck, can't make an obsd bootable install disk... here's what I tried


#!/bin/bash

rsync -av --progress --delete --delete-excluded \
	--exclude='alpha' \
	--exclude='amd64' \
	--exclude='arm' \
	--exclude='cats' \
	--exclude='hp300' \
	--exclude='hppa' \
	--exclude='m68k' \
	--exclude='m88k' \
	--exclude='mac68k' \
	--exclude='macppc' \
	--exclude='mvme68k' \
	--exclude='mvme88k' \
	--exclude='packages' \
	--exclude='powerpc' \
	--exclude='sparc' \
	--exclude='sparc64' \
	--exclude='vax' \
	rsync://ftp.nluug.nl/OpenBSD/3.5/ openbsd/3.5/

mkisofs -r -G ./i386/bsd.rd ./ \
	| ssh root at localhost "cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -eject -data -"


The cd is made with the expected files

$ ls /cdrom
ANNOUNCEMENT  PACKAGES  SIZES       i386          src.tar.gz
Changelogs    PORTS     XF4.tar.gz  ports.tar.gz  sys.tar.gz
HARDWARE      README    ftplist     root.mail     tools
$ find  /cdrom | wc -l
    135

...but it doesn't boot. Any ideas?
