When recoverying, one simply inserts the cd, boots on it, and types the name of the recovery-script, which is the last line printed at boot. The Hd's then gets fdisk'ed, partitioned, mkfs'ed, the tar,gz'ed contents restored, and the disk made bootable. Even my boss could restore a crashed system this way. Has anybody made a similar script for FreeBSD?
