Richard,

If you grab all of the files from your current 4.5 install cd and throw 
them in a directory, add in your custom kernel, stir in 2 cups of milk and 
let simmer with mkisofs you should be left with a delicious ISO.

As Paul said you can use the PROM to boot this sweet pea and select your 
kernel instead of /bsd.

Hope that helps,

John
