Gah, here, just use this. http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/rspro/mfs-build.tar.gz There's two scripts to build an MFS root for my tplink AP. One builds a normal one, one builds one using bsdbox (and creates symlinks.) The important magic is: * the fudging to find the start/end offsets in the kernel for the MFS root; * using makefs with the -right- options (which took me a while!) to create an FFS which a MIPS big-endian kernel will understand; * shuffling all the right bits into the right place. Good luck! Adrian
