I use amd for doing just this. it works for most cases. My map file looks like
cdrom type:=cdfs;dev:=/dev/acd0c;addopts:=ro
floppy type:=pcfs;dev:=/dev/fd0
zip type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/da0s1a
pczip type:=pcfs;dev:=/dev/da0s4
pczipF type:=pcfs;dev:=/dev/da0
flash type:=pcfs;dev:=/dev/da0s1
(minus the NFS filesystems)
This works for everything but the type:=ufs. When amd mounts a unix filesystem
it will never unmount it. I had to patch amd to unmount ufs.
My amd.conf is the default. The parameters for amd are:
/usr/sbin/amd -p -a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /u /etc/amd.u
Best,
-Chris
