Given how critical space is in mfsroot, it seems to make sense to avoid having a copy of /boot in the mfsroot since it's in the ISO anyway and that's the one that's used for boot, not the copy in mfsroot.

While I do agree with the approach, I disagree with the fact of removing entirely the modules. one can have a kld_list in the rc.conf so I do think we should keep the modules and nuke the kernel itself and all other files. |

I agree. Perhaps it would be good to have a separate flag for this? I've also run into cases where I need to customize the boot, such as creating /boot.config or modifying /boot/device.hints. Perhaps a separate root for the iso contents vs the mfsroot would make sense? |
