Assume you have rootfs dir, then makefs -d 255 -t cd9660 -o "rockridge" rootfs.iso rootfs mkulzma -v rootfs.iso.ulzma -s 131072 rootfs.iso So now you have rootfs.iso.ulzma which is rootfs files in the ISO9660 filesystem packed into ulzma (each block compressed with LZMA) so you have to have already loaded kernel with geom_uncompress inside and that image at begin of any attached to system media, or on some partition/slice of media. For example, if you have only CF card to boot, you need way to load kernel first. You can put kernel on separate partition (since ulzma inaccessible yet, till kernel started), or depend on loader(BIOS) ability it can be even some blocks of card w/o any FS. Then when kernel done attaching media, GEOM inspect meta info on it, parse partitions, find header of ulzma and attach it as "something.uncompress". If you put rootfs.iso.ulzma into /dev/da0s2, then it appear as /dev/da0s2.uncompress, and you will able to mount it with mount -t cd9660 /dev/da0s2.uncompress /dir. etc. WBW -- Aleksandr Rybalko
