I don't think it would be possible then as all the old etc/root fs restrictions still apply. On the other hand, if you must have this what's the drawback to simply snapshotting your root fs? Of course this is much more ideal if you use a ZFS structure like MFSBSD's default rather the ZFS file system layout presented in the wiki. -- Adam Vande More
