a similar mechanism using a
bootable CD-ROM. The biggest difference in the process of course is that the
CD-ROM itself is read-only so clearly there needs to be an mfsroot involved in
the process. I looked at how the FreeBSD Live CD is setup and the loader.conf
file has these lines:

How do you mean it doesn't boot fully? Creating a bootable cd is in the

Most operating systems are understandably lacking in mechanisms
to do this (although there is a program under NT that will wipe the
system clean in one move--I don't think it ships any more, since it was
too dangerous).
Section 2.13 assumes the use of a boot floppy or bootable CD in all

from the CD.

Download iso image from your nearest ftp site.
Then:
burncd -s max -f /dev/name_of_cd_burner_device name_of_iso_fil
Burn a bootable ISO image to a blank CDR.
Iso images are on the ftp site.That does involve a cost to the project for
bandwidth, so consider downloading the mini install iso and then pull
anything else you need only as you need it.
