What I want is mounting the root filesystem that's been created in the USB flash drive (this hardware has USB port) using the ufs:/dev/da0s1a method but before that happens, I need to create that root filesystem (/) from scratch in the USB flash drive so that it can be mounted right after the kernel is loaded. Not sure what level I am as a FreeBSD user but I can install and setup FreeBSD system, networking, install packages and re-build or compile a kernel.
