Hello, Freebsd-geom.

  Patches to build and install world without root access will hit tree
in near future, and I wonder is it possible to build complete NanoBSD
image without root access? Now image is built via creating MD disk and
it needs root access anyway :(
  Is here any way to create disk image (in file) without root access?

  Yes, permissions fixup needs root access in any case, but it
could be done on first boot of created image, on target device, with
some rc kung-foo!
