I do one thing in Linux that I want to do in FreeBSD. I store my root file system as a blow fish, gzipped, encrypted file on a DiskOnChip. When the Linux kernel boots it loads an initial ramdisk that will open this file, uncompress, and decrypt. I will then write the good data to a ram disk. Upon completion, it will terminate itself and the Linux kernel will now mount /dev/ram7 as its root fs. I do much more in my loader. I allow flashing of that file, I allow an alternate method of getting the same file. It can be on a tftp server or in a URL like http://192.168.2.1/sw/sw-package. But that is in the details. I would like to do the exact same thing with FreeBSD but I can not find any leads on this type of configuration. Any pointers?
