I've the intention of trying to make a 'boot-root' root mount, and a runtime one, once mux nmountifies and commits rootfs, so that I don't have things like /bin/ls and such around when booting, until FSes are mounted... The absolute minimum root is what root really is and shouldn't be nearly as big as ours is, especially when fine-tuned. Sigh. Does anyone know exactly what rcNG (and the rc modules) require to be on / up to the point where disks are mounted? juli. -- Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve Will break world for fulltime employment. | finger jmallett@FreeBSD.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jmallett/ | Support my FreeBSD hacking!
