: That's exactly the problem I had when I created a combined
: DVD-ROM with FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD on it. For them to
: share the same ISO-9660, at least one of them needed to be
: chrooted. I decided to add the feature to DragonFly BSD's
: init(8) because the DragonFly people seemed to be easier to
: convince of the usefulness. ;-) Indeed, the feature was
: committed quickly. I didn't try to send-pr a similar patch
: for FreeBSD.
You do the FreeBSD developer community a disservice with this
attitude. We've been talking about needing something like this for a
while.
: It shouldn't be too difficult to port it, though:

: The chroot() patch has been committed with r1.6. It uses
: kenv to specify the chroot directory, so it can easily be
: set by the loader(8), e.g. using a custom boot menu.

: PS: I see NetBSD has a similar feature, too. Maybe
: FreeBSD should join the crowd and adopt it. ;-)
Please, don't come into the FreeBSD forums and talk trash on FreeBSD
when you've not even tried to get a change into the base system.
