Thanks for your information.

I am looking for mini freebsd with bootable image iso format, which is 
for installation purpose.
In my case, iso image contains two set of kernals and base directory.

ISO Image directory
    + 6.0Release/ base   (copy to harddisk for booting purpose )
    + 6.0Release/kernel (copy to harddisk for booting purpose )
    + base         (Installation time,boot form cd)
    + kernel      (Installation time,boot form cd)

while installing OS on new system, one set of kernel and base directory 
datas are used for booting from CD. Once OS is booted and copy the other 
set of base and kernel directory to harddisk. When i reboot the system, 
It will boot form hardisk kernel.

Is the ISO image must required two set of kernel and base directory ? ? ?..

Is it possible to process with one set of kernel and base directory???. 
If yes how to customize it.

Thanks,
Senthilkumar.
