Is there any highly compressed filesystems [like squashfs] supported directedly by FreeBSD?

Freesbie does use geom_uzip (i had a quick look at their wiki)
Been a while since i used linux's loopback fs stuff. But i think the
equivalent is mdconfig. To manually mount (not use the script embedded
in the image mkuzip makes) a uzip image, try
kldload geom_uzip
mdconfig -af $uzip_file
mount -t cd9660 /dev/$created_md_device /$mountpoint

or as the script in the created uzip image rather more succinctly puts it
#!/bin/sh
#V2.0 Format
m=geom_uzip
(kldstat -m $m 2>&-||kldload $m)>&-&&mount_cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -af
$0`.uzip $1
exit $?

hope this helps.
