FreeBSD currently seems to bascally implement the same fake inode algorithm
as SunOS does since ~ 1989.
I did extend mkisofs during the past days and started to extend hsfs from
Solaris. Once I am ready, I could present the results in case there is someone
who is willing to work on the FreeBSD filesystem module, I could explain what
needs to be done.
