We have a USB boot stick based cloning process that we're considering porti= ng to a DVD based media. I'm not sure though that it's possible due to the = restrictions I've seen in the mfsroot environment we'd have to use. For exa= mple, in our USB disk procedure, we create partitions using gpart and set u= p mirroring for the OS partitions. We even recognize 3Ware controllers and = automatically create logical RAID sets from the available drives. In some e= arlier work I did with a pxe boot server a couple of years ago, I know that= I could not setup mirrors via sysinstall and I assume that hasn't changed = in FreeBSD 8. Is it possible to customize the mfsroot environment to run a = larger variety of commands to allow us to duplicate the cloning process we = use with USB boot sticks or is this project likely not doable?
