Hi Gary, thanks for the reply.
How do you mean it doesn't boot fully? Creating a bootable cd is in the
handbook.
My first test cd didn't boot because it couldn't find a root filesystem to
mount i think. I sorted that by just borrowing my fstab from my running
system and put in on the cd
Hi, I'm looking to create my own custom boot CD that will be used to
bootstrap fully encrypted system using GEOM ELI. All the CD needs to do is
load a kernel to initialize the encrypted root partition on the HDD, and
read a key file to decrypt it.
Ive looked at some tutorials for creating your

# mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b boot/cdboot -o /tmp/bootable.iso /tmp/cdfiles
Your tmp/cdfiles should contain a boot folder matching that on the
encrypted system. You'll only need the kernel and modules that you load
though
I have been reading
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
and
the info there is easy to understand, but I am confused on how to go about
do a
buildworld and installing it to the path I am going to use for the creating
the
ISO from?
