Brief description of how to build a LiveCD image;

  1. Get a build tool.
    ftp http://kaw.ath.cx/dl/pub/OpenBSD/LiveCD/tools/tools-4.0.tar.gz
  2. Extract it
    tar xvzpf tools-4.0.tar.gz
  3. Copy kernel
    cd tools-4.0
    rm bsd.orig
    cp bsd bsd.orig
    (Or compile your customized kernel using tools-4.0/lib/RDROOT, then copy it to tools-4.0/bsd)

  4. Copy your OpenBSD file-tree under tools-4.0/cdroot.dist
    For example;
    cd cdroot.dist
    (cd YOUR-OPENBSD-FILE-TREE && tar cpf - .) | tar xvpf - .
  5. Make an ISO image
    make livecd.iso
  6. Burn it.
    cdio -f /dev/rcd0c blank             ( <- Only for CD-RW )
    cdio -f /dev/rcd0c tao livecd.iso

That's all.
