I am beginning to wonder if there is something different about
the way mfsbsd boots since it actually extracts itself in to
memory upon boot. I looked at bootloader.conf once again and
created a new boot.config file. The system does definitely see
the file because it echos the commands. The boot pr
The boot.config file I thought would boot mfsbsd on what
was the swap partition is not working. On this particular
drive, ad0s1a is the normal FreeBSD partition and ad0s1b is
swap. The idea is to use dd to write the mfsboot.img file to
/dev/ad0s1b and then boot from there. My boot.config f

It is exactly the right idea. Funny thing, I actually did turn
swap off and the image is now sitting there because I thought
this might be useful. Is there any w

One can almost but not quite remotely build a FreeBSD system
using mfsbsd. The problem is that in order to install the
mfsboot.img data on the main boot drive, it is necessary to use
dd to write it there and a working system already has mounted
all partitions in the main drive.
The system
