Subject:   Booting from a floppy for security
Message-ID:  <3469AA8C.727D783D@healthnet-sl.es>

In the handbook, at the section where the FreeBSD booting process is
explained, a setup is mentioned to boot from a readonly floppy in order
to get the kernel loaded from a readonly media (see
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook287.html, at the "E" item).

As it does not give much information, if anyone already has this setup
working I would appreciate any share, like:

- Source code for an /sbin/init replacement
- Additional things that could be done, like md5 checksumming some
binaries, etc.

Thanks in advance,
