I used to do exactly this back at FreeBSD 4.11 to boot off a cdrom.
Nice to know it still works this way.

Maybe this confusion explains why /dev/md0c is giving me random crashes
at the moment?
Of course, another theory might be the size of my initial ramdisk
(300Mb). Would there any known bug where booting off a large ramdisk
causes unreadable panics to flash past the console too rapidly to view?
