Why shouldn't I be able to configure a vnd pointing to a file on a read only
partition?
# mount -t cd9660 -r /dev/cd0a /mnt
# cd /mnt
# ls -l bootlapnetcd1.fs
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2949120 Oct 8 11:21 bootlapnetcd1.fs
# vnconfig -v -c vnd0 bootlapnetcd1.fs
vnconfig: bootlapnetcd1.fs: Read-only file system
Couldn't I then mount -r the vnd?
Cheers,
Patrick
