The official FreeBSD documentation is excellent, and
includes a
section (in the FreeBSD Handbook) on how to duplicate a
CD-ROM.

My crib sheet was really only for my own use, so it assumes
my shell.
csh-type shells would need slightly different syntax.
I have some other tricks of my own, on my web site at

I did mean that. But I'm not sure it's necessary; using the
raw disk
device *should* get all of the data on the disk.

For a bootable CD, getting all of the files isn't enough.
Some of the
data you need isn't in a file on the CD filesystem.

I recommend using CD-RW disks when experimenting, and then
you don't
worry about wasting the burn. Or just buy enough
super-cheapie blanks
that you don't worry about wasting them.
Good luck.
