I've been using the following for almost a year: http://people.freebsd.org/~bsd/cdroot/ While not highly polished, it's pretty straight-forward to set up and use. The above provides a script to create a freebsd directory structure that can be burned onto a CD and used as the root filesystem. When booting from the resultant CD, you can also provide a /etc/* on a floppy disk and anything on the floppy will override that on the CD which makes the system very flexible. I've used this setup primarily for custom install CDs that contain a FreeBSD distribution in /dist on the CD (/etc/inst on the CD is a rudimentary installer), and also as a CD-ROM based firewall (which uses a floppy disk with /etc overrides to provide firewall rules, etc). -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
