I've built (but not tested) a bootable CDROM:

http://vivier.eu/debian-9.0-m68k-NETINST-1-emile.iso
[currently uploading, available in 30 minutes]

165011456 bytes

md5sum:

0b53ed7fc453ef235f67519db76dad60  debian-9.0-m68k-NETINST-1-emile.iso

steps:

on x86:
    ./configure
    make clean
    make tools

on m68k:
    ./configure
    make clean
    make all

on x86:
   mkdir mnt/cdrom
   sudo mount debian-9.0-m68k-NETINST-1.iso mnt/cdrom/ -o loop
   cd mnt/cdrom
   mkdir ../../bootable
   find .| cpio -p ../../bootable
   cd ../..
   sudo umount mnt/cdrom
   sudo vi bootable/install/cdrom.conf

The generated mkisofs command is:
/usr/bin/mkisofs -quiet -hfs -joliet -R -boot-hfs-file
/tmp/emile-mkisofs-emchAx -graft-points -o boot.iso mnt/cdrom/

/tmp/emile-mkisofs-emchAx is created by emile-mkisofs and
contains the partition map and the bootloader.
