From the FreeBSD Handbook:
22.1.4. Interesting combinations
Boot a kernel with a MFS in it with a special /sbin/init which...
A -- Using DOS
mounts your C: as /C:
Attaches C:/freebsd.fs on /dev/vn0
mounts /dev/vn0 as /rootfs
makes symlinks
/rootfs/bin -> /bin
/rootfs/etc -> /etc
/rootfs/sbin -> /sbin
(etc...)
Now you run FreeBSD without repartitioning your hard disk...
Hope this helps. :-)
