But your previous post shows rootdev= there didn't work, and needed setting vfs.root.mountfrom=. OTOH, rootdev= is reported to work in efi/boot/freebsd/loader.env (with efi loader) on freebsd-users-jp ML (as it's Japanese ML, in Japanese) this year. So /boot/defaults/loader.conf

Re: loader.conf and rootdev option for memory disk

Look at the file /boot/defaults/loader.conf: … ### Initial memory disk settings ### #mdroot_load="YES" # The "mdroot" prefix is arbitrary. #mdroot_type="md_image" # Create md(4) disk at boot. #mdroot_name="/boot/root.img" # Path to a file

loader.conf and rootdev option for memory disk

Hi all, In the /boot/defaults/loader.conf are these options for memory disk settings: #mdroot_load="YES" # The "mdroot" prefix is arbitrary. #mdroot_type="md_image" # Create md(4) disk at boot. #mdroot_name="/boot/root.img" # Path to a file containing the image.
