I have built quite a few FBSD-ipfw routers/bridges the last while, and now I want to take it to the next level. I would like to copy an entire FreeBSD install to CD and then do the following: - Boot from external media and create a 2GB memory disk - Copy the contents of the entire FreeBSD install on the CD to the memory disk - Load FreeBSD from the memory disk, as it would as if I was booting normally from HDD - Work on the pc as normal. The reason for this is so I can make my boxes much smaller and much faster (no hdd i/o). 1. Is it possible to do a custom r/o install of Free onto a CD? 2. Is it possible to run FreeBSd out of memory with no hdd? Tks for all help in advance.
