While trying to make a simple customization to the latest distribution
cd (add console="comconsole" to boot/loader.conf), the following four
sets of cross-linked files were found (pruned output from "ls -ilR
/cdrom"; isoinfo(8) from sysutils/cdrtools produces similar):
15005 -r--r--r-- 2 root wheel 0 May 8 03:05 dumpdates

After tar'ing the cd contents over to disk, and "diff -r" uncovering the
discrepancies in the copy (the second file of each set was now 0 bytes),
had to manually delete and re-copy the four truncated files before
making the desired change, and mkisofs(8) and burncd(8).
Maybe this is a one-off, or perhaps a simple change could be made to the
release cd mastering process to avoid this in the future.

We don't do anything special in the mastering process: The exact
command that is used by the release Makefile:
bootable="-b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot"
mkisofs $bootable -r -J -V $LABEL -publisher "$publisher" -o $NAME $*
Maybe it's a bug in mkisofs?
