 * Why not cut your own FreeBSD install CD?  This shouldn't be too hard to
 * do since sysinstall is scriptable.

I'd like the system to function even when the hard drive goes bad.  If
the filesystem on the hard drive (/var) goes bad, I can presumably
make the machine reboot itself and come up with a CD-only system (no
writable /var, no swap) if the root is on the CD.
