bootstrapping

I've just begun creating a rails application using mongomapper for my models. I'm wondering what solution should I use for bootstrapping my app with it.

All my previous experience is with ActiveRecord & PostgreSQL, in which I have used several gems for bootstrapping. The one I liked the most was bootstrapper (+ factorygirl + faker).

Does anyone know whether these work ok with mongomapper? Can anyone suggest better alternatives? Is there anything obvious I need to know when bootstrapping mongodb?
