Tell me if I am wrong but from the floppy, the files kern.flp &
mfsroot.flp are compressed and then uncompressed into memory.

If so, that means that the FreeBSD box is running this programs from the
RAM and not from the floppy, right ?

If so, is it possible to do the same but from a hard disk instead of the
floppy ?
