+ <p>One of the long missing features of FreeBSD was the ability
+ to boot up with a temporary rootfs, configure the kernel to
+ be able to access the real rootfs, and then replace the
+ temporary root with the real one.
+ In Linux, the functionality is known as pivot_root.
+ The reroot projects aims to provide similar functionality in
+ a different, slightly more user-friendly way: rerooting.
+ Simply put, from the user point of view it's as simple as
+ running "reboot -r", which makes the system perform a partial
+ shutdown, killing all processes and unmounting the rootfs,
+ and then partial bringup, mounting the new rootfs, running
+ init, and running the startup scripts as usual.</p>
+
+ <p>The kernel part of the project was committed to 11-CURRENT.
+ The userland part is at "finishing touches" stage, and is
+ expected to be committed soon.
+ A merge to stable/10 is planned and reroot support should
+ be included in &os; 10.3.</p>
