Ok. But I am still unsure about which files exactly have to be
modified on the bootonly cdrom image.

I have changed or added

	boot/loader.conf, 
	boot/loader.conf.local 
	boot/defaults/loader.conf

and inside boot/mfsroot.gz
	
	etc/rc.conf.

But despite all of this I still get: No dumpdevice defined.
Why does the kernel claim so?

Bye, bye
