You can take a look at src/release/picobsd/tinyware/oinit - not without its flaws, but anyway some point to start from... "mfsroot" disk is just a gzipped FFS image of the root filesystem with all binaries, device nodes and whatnot - prepare such a thing using vnconfig, then gzip the file and dd it onto the second floppy, that's it.. There is some extra logic in the 3rd stage bootstrap (namely, in the Forth files) to load this disk as a KLD. You can look into src/release/Makefile to see them 'echo'-ed into /boot/loader.rc.
