Hi,
I am now trying to do it now on a FreeBSD machine so I did :

su-2.05b#mdconfig -a -t vnode -f freebsd.img
=> response : "md0"

Then I mounted successfully :  /dev/md0s1d (/var), /dev/md0s1e(/tmp)
and  /dev/md0s1f (/usr). But I can not mount /dev/md0s1a which is the
root directory where "/boot/boot.conf" is located :
su-2.05b# mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt/a
mount: /dev/md0s1a: Operation not permitted

Any hint ?
