I'm not sure though that it's possible due to the restrictions I've seen in the mfsroot environment we'd have to use. For example, in our USB disk procedure, we create partitions using gpart and set up mirroring for the OS partitions. We even recognize 3Ware controllers and automatically create logical RAID sets from the available drives. In some earlier work I did with a pxe boot server a couple of years ago, I know that I could not setup mirrors via sysinstall and I assume that hasn't changed in FreeBSD 8. Is it possible to customize the mfsroot environment to run a larger variety of commands to allow us to duplicate the cloning process we use with USB boot sticks or is this project likely not doable? > > It sounds like http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ would be helpful to you.
