install on some partition (everything on / ) upto 650MB system containing
all you need.

then 2 ways of doing that:
1) put it all as kernel ramdisk (for LAAARGE memory systems) and boot it
from anything

2) make kernel with cd0a root fs isofs and modify /etc/rc.d/somethings and
/etc/fstab to use mount_union to allow file writes.

mount_mfs -s=5000 <something> /ramdisk
mkdir /ramdisk/etc /ramdisk/var/log /ramdisk/var/run etc... etc...

before normal mount_sequence and
/ramdisk/etc /etc unionfs 0 0
/ramdisk/var/log /var/log unionfs 0 0

etc.. etc....

should then boot from CD.
