I already looked at Freesbie.  Kernel of FreeBSD doesn't have fancy
things like squashfs, so Freesbie relies on mkuzip instead.

mkuzip provides compression but not COW writability.  If I were to
make a livecd using it, I'd do something like:

- Mount usr.uzip compressed filesystem as /usr.
- Mount the rest of /* directories as tmpfs and fill them by copying from CD.

mkuzip is already provided in freebsd-utils (>= 8.2-1).
