Is Dragonfly easy to configure for readonly root?

Matt's rc.initdiskless is still there in FreeBSD 6.1, but
there's precious little else to help get it up and running
on a CF system - the available notes are all either heavily
focussed on NFS boot, or relate to older versions of
FreeBSD (hmm - and may even apply to Dragonfly I guess!)
