Thanks a lot for putting this together - that helps !

Looking at the webrev, my understanding is that original SMF service
svc:/system/filesystem/root:live-media (with live-fs-root start method)
is going to be split into following three pieces:

[1] svc:/system/filesystem/root-minimal:live-media (live-fs-root-minimal)
* determines if we are booted from media or net
* if booted from media, proceed with [2a]
* if booted from media, proceed with [2b]

[2a] svc:/system/filesystem/root:live-media (live-fs-root)
* mounts filesystems when booted from media

[2b] svc:/system/filesystem/root:net (net-fs-root)
* downloads compressed archives from server and mounts
  filesystems when booted from net

Is my understanding correct ?

Thanks again,
Jan
