This was what I had been using(8.2-RELEASE) to populate NFS roots for
netinstalls. This allowed you to boot up into something that was
self-contained.
The other ISO's seem to have A LOT more stuff with symlinks pointing to
absolute paths all over the f/s. This isn't quite as simple to copy over
to a rootfs to use as a NFS target for booting.
You can just copy the whole CD over and it will work fine. The CD is
basically a vanilla installed system, so you can also just set up an
install somewhere (with bsdinstall jail /path/to/nfsroot, for instance).
Things on the CD different from a vanilla system:
- /etc/rc.local script to start the installer at boot
(copied from /usr/src/release/rc.local)
- Distfiles copied to /usr/freebsd-dist
If you don't copy the distfiles, bsdinstall will automatically download
them, but you probably don't want to do that every time.
