misc/57534: replace cgdroot.kmod by cgdroot.fs and update documentation
>Number: 57534
>Category: misc
>Synopsis: replace cgdroot.kmod by cgdroot.fs and update documentation
>Confidential: no
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: misc-bug-people
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Fri Jul 21 12:10:01 +0000 2023
>Originator: Taylor R Campbell
>Release: current
>Organization:
The NetCGD Documentation
>Environment:
hottest June on record, harbinger of worse to come
>Description:
The bootloader (at least on x86 and arm) has supported loading a ramdisk directly, without it being baked into a kernel module, for about a decade now.
The instructions for root-on-cgd at https://wiki.netbsd.org/security/cgdroot/ still describe the cgdroot.kmod kernel module, however, and it appears that the bare ramdisk isn't published in the releasedir anywhere.
>How-To-Repeat:
read https://wiki.netbsd.org/security/cgdroot/
>Fix:
1. cgdroot.fs (and zfsroot.fs) should be published in the releasedir.
2. https://wiki.netbsd.org/security/cgdroot/ should be updated to use cgdroot.fs.
3. Stretch goal: cgdroot and zfsroot should be combined, and support for https://github.com/riastradh/fidocrypt added (not necessary for closing this PR).
