Something of interest is mounting from a memory filesystem= =2E =20 The problem is the loader.conf commands appear to be undocumented, from wha= t I=20 can gather they are: mfsroot_load=3D"YES" mfsroot_type=3D"mfs_root" mfsroot_name=3D"/boot/mfsroot" I am only able to fine one reference in the system of it (that is in=20 release/Makefile). There is a section in the man 4 md pages however that=20 refers to an md_image and does not say how to load the image using loader... Also loader.rc is references but there does not appear to be any documentat= ion=20 on it. =20 Lastly, there appears to be a duplicate entry of init_script under man 8=20 loader? Apologies in advance if I have overlooked something or this email in=20 inappropriate. Thank you for the great documentation, it is a life saver a= nd=20 very thorough. ;-) Regards David --nextPart1505430.oxQKNoCGxa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBIEub0UaaFgP9pFrIRAhZ+AJ9ExQakuohQ+6Yih5Cn3Ps2xz032wCeNv0H xdVc3yl/LumSX9PIdSQb2Tg= =80pT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1505430.oxQKNoCGxa--
