i uploaded my ramdisk scripts and the patches to:

 ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/salo/init-chroot/

i use them for few months on my laptop with / on cgd(4):

 /dev/cgd0a on / type ffs (noatime, nodevmtime, soft dependencies, local)

 Filesystem         Size      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
 /dev/cgd0a          36G      24G       12G    66%     /

swap:

 Device      512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Priority
 /dev/cgd1a     1050273    81632   968641     8%    0

the system in my chroot has no / file system in /etc/fstab, to avoid
unnecessary fsck runs, mount -a, etc.  i also disabled savecore, since
it doesn't make much sense in such setup (swap is also on cgd(4) with a
random key so it's unreadable after reboot).
