I am still puzzled as to why, with smitty, I can use a CDROM as the input
device and the software is found, but when I copy the CD, then use the top
of my new directory, the software isn't found, I have to go into
usr/sys/inst.images.

Part of the creation of the image for an 'install' CD is where the toc is
placed. When you use /dev/cd0 as an install source, installp (or programs
that call installp), look for the toc automatically. If you create a bff,
you need to generate a .toc file with the 'inutoc' command. The files and
the .toc need to be in the same directory. You can put all your install
images in a /install directory, then cd into that directory and (as root) run
'inutoc .' This will create the .toc file. The default directory for inutoc
is /usr/sys/inst.images.
