>Labels are an excellent solution in this case. I've done some quick research on this and it will indeed solve the issue re= garding a generic fstab. I have a related question though. I want to take t= his a step further and convert the bootable USB stick into a bootable CD-RO= M image. This is a little trickier because the CD-ROM device is read-only a= nd I'm going to have to use some solution involving mfsroot. I checked out = the BSD Live CD and there isn't even a /etc/fstab on the disk, at least not= the /etc on the root of the CD. I tried to duplicate what I thought they w= ere doing but although I could got a bootable CD the system complained that= the file system was read-only, so clearly the mfsroot config wasn't set up= correctly. How exactly is this done? And ultimately there will be the same= issue with the /etc/fstab as far as providing a generic entry for the root= mount device. I don't think I can use glabel in this case. What's the best= option here?
