First off I am not on the list so please cc me on all reply's. I am interested on creating a complete system on a cd. I have had a couple of thoughts on how to accomplish this and wanted to see what would be the best/easiest way. 1) cd is a complete root filesystem from / up, bootloader will consist of just a kernel which uses the cd as root. This seems to be pretty easy but lacks the ability to make little changes to the running system. Questions about this method: what is the best boot loader to use here, cdboot? rawboot? how is cdboot used? 2) have the bootloader load a kernel and mfsroot from the cd (not from the boot image) this way I can have a complete root filesystem on the cd, however I am not sure if any of our boot loaders can do this, or how to configure them too. Thanks for any tips/pointers to docs/whatever else is useful James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
