Is there a feature for freebsd that during boot, a compresses filesystem is extracted into ramdisk, so further operation is done completely whithin the ramdisk? (that is that the root filesystem is mounted to the ramdisk - I'm not talking about making /tmp an MFS) I know such feature exist in BSDI (and maybe Linux), but couldn't locate anything like that for freebsd by searching the web. Please reply to my personal address too (barak@cwnt.com) as I'm not registered yet to this mailing list.
