loader.conf says
rootfs_load="yes"
rootfs_name="contents.izo"
rootfs_type="md_image"
vfs.root.mountfrom="cd9660:/dev/md0.uzip"
contents.izo is uzip'd contents.iso which file(1)
describes as ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data ''
That's for normal boot, for the loader 'install' command
it expects an uncompressed iso for rootfs.
