In NetBSD is very easy (no special parameters are needed). I run NetBSD-hp300
with kernel version 1.4.1, and it works:
- Configure the vnd0 device:
vnconfig /dev/vnd0 miniroot.fs
- Mount the device:
mount /dev/vnd0c /mnt
- Dismount:
umount /mnt
- Unconfigure the device:
vnconfig -u /dev/vnd0
FreBSD should be very similar.
