I'd like to create a functional FreeBSD system, which would boot off a bootable CD-ROM, then transfer all necessary files into an MFS, and operate after that completely independent of the CD-ROM (especially, it needs to be tolerant to IDE device failures). The memory size can be around 256M, so I don't think that I need to go the way of PicoBSD. I'm looking for a starting point for this project. Any articles on creating a bootable FreeBSD cd-roms? I guess that there has to be some mechanism to transfer the needed files into the MFS system, once the kernel has loaded, but before it mounted the root file system (because the root file system is going to be on MFS). The installation system must be doing something like that. Is that documented somewhere? Many thanks for any pointers, -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everyting you believe.
