Well, if its anything like the LiveCD option from there regular full = iso, then you can do 2 things; issue; mkdir /tmp/etc mount_unionfs /tmp/etc /etc * this makes all things done on the fs temporary or issue; mount -rw / * renders anything you write permanent I do either of these during LiveCD sessions depending on my goals. Unsure if this pertains to bootonly.iso but perhaps it helps? I'm also very new to the FreeBSD scene so any one feel free to correct. - aurf
