Hi,

Recently I have been trying a few different approaches of building live CD'=
s=20
with FreeBSD (something that is surprisingly easy, especially compared to=20
other systems).  Something of interest is mounting from a memory filesystem=
=2E =20

The problem is the loader.conf commands appear to be undocumented, from wha=
t I=20
can gather they are:
mfsroot_load=3D"YES"
mfsroot_type=3D"mfs_root"
mfsroot_name=3D"/boot/mfsroot"

I am only able to fine one reference in the system of it (that is in=20
release/Makefile).  There is a section in the man 4 md pages however that=20
refers to an md_image and does not say how to load the image using loader...

Also loader.rc is references but there does not appear to be any documentat=
ion=20
on it. =20

Lastly, there appears to be a duplicate entry of init_script under man 8=20
loader?

Apologies in advance if I have overlooked something or this email in=20
inappropriate.  Thank you for the great documentation, it is a life saver a=
nd=20
very thorough. ;-)

Regards

David
