Does installworld work these days with read-only /src and/or /obj
filesystems?
I want to upgrade a few isolated FreeBSD machines that have tiny disks.
My plan is to put each of /src and /obj on CDROMs, copy the contents
of one onto the hard disk (if it will fit!), and read the other from /mnt
as we go.
In the past we were surprised to discover that one or both of these
filesystems had to be writeable for some tiny annoying reason which
I don't quite recall.
The easiest thing would be if I could copy only a small necessary
part of /src to the hard disk, then have /obj read-only in the CD
drive... but now I'm getting too optimistic.
Has anyone tried something like this?
