       I am using FreeBSD 2.1R installed from Walnut CD.
Now i want to make interest system, wich i want to boot with vnode file
on dos partiton as root file system.
       I have successfully install vnode driver ,and i can work with
floppy images . But i want to make big filesystem ( ~10M) to fit the
'/bin' , '/sbin' and some others.

  Tell me please, how can i make filesystem in a file. 
  And how tell Kernel to use some like 'c:\user\zsv\rootfs.dat' as rootfs. 

 With best Regards.

ZSV.
