If you have a look at the release build process, you'll see that you basically need to newfs a vn device, stick the appropriate files on it, and have "load -t md_image /my-mfs-image" in your loader script. If you fail to bring along /etc/fstab, you will need to pass some flags to the kernel to let it know whence the root fs comes from, IIRC.
