Hi Rick,

If you want, you could follow my approach which is to take the completed mf=
sroot.gz and use a Makefile to manage the creation of custom mfsroots (keep=
ing the original unmodified, making it simpler to test different iterations=
).

The advantage is that you don't have to re-perform the release(7) process e=
ach time you want to make a change to your mfsroot.

Check it out:

http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/dep/free=
bsd/mfsroot/standard/

Basically, you'd grab the Makefile (link below):

http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/dep/free=
bsd/mfsroot/standard/Makefile?revision=3D1.1

Then create a "dep" directory and "src" directory:

Next, take the virgin mfsroot.gz produced by the release(7) process and dum=
p it into the "dep" directory.

Next, put your install.cfg into the "src" directory (just like you see that=
 I did).

Optionally populate more files into the "src" directory (see the first link=
 above for an example -- example includes "boot/modules/nullfs.ko", "etc/fs=
tab", and "etc/group", etc.).

When the "src" directory represents what you'd like to add to the mfsroot, =
you're ready to produce a new copy of the stored original (at "dep/mfsroot.=
gz"), complete with your additions.

Execute:

make from_dep

NOTE: sudo is required

What will happen is that "dep/mfsroot.gz" will be copied to the current wor=
king directory, the mfsroot is ripped open (requires sudo privileges), the =
"src" directory is layered onto the mfsroot, and finally the mfsroot is pac=
kaged back up (leaving you with a custom "./mfsroot.gz" for deployment).

Cheers,
Devin
