Take a look at the Makefile in misc/src/trees and, more specifically,
target "make-boots", which calls the script "mkboot". Before that you
should make target all in the same directory. And, even before that, you
should update the hdlist file, using (from the directory that corresponds
to the root directory of the CD) the command

 misc/src/anaconda/utils/genhdlist .

When make-boots is done, your images should be in the subdirectory images
(still relative to the root of the CD). Instead of "make make-boots", you
might want to try "make do-make", which also rebuilds the hdimage and the
driver disks.

I hope that helps.
