I am setting up a laptop system that is running FreeBSD. One requirement for this system is that it cannot have a hard disk. FreeBSD and our applications will reside on the CD. The CD will be made bootable using the procedures outlined in the El Torito Specification. How do I let the bootstrap know to load the kernel on the CD? How will the kernel on the CD know that the root filesystem is on the CD? How does the kernel know to run /etc/init or /stand/sysinstall? How do I substitute /etc/init with another program? How do I let the kernel know that there is no hard disk and not to do any swapping? How do I create an mfs filesystem without specifying the swap device? How do I mount an mfs filesystem to a mount point on the CD?
