Going to /usr/src/ and running sh release.sh does nothing.

And short answer, assuming you really only want the CDROM images (not DVD, not memory stick) and you want to base them on your current src and obj trees (not a clean environment to rebuild the "official" media), it's as simple as:

make -C release cdrom

But then, the manpage gives you all the possibilities you have :)
 
There are two ways of booting. One with a memory disk, your posting , the other media disk. For that you can go to
/usr/src. The latter uses "man mkimg".
