Dear Sirs.

Can anybody help me with understanding of a new structure of PicoBSD
floppy image?  Earlier, the disk was just a bootable floppy with 
kernel and /, /etc structure with gzipped files there, which were
ungzipped and put on a MD image during the boot process (am I right?).

Currently, the disk looks like just /kernel there.  I couldn't get
where are all files appear from?  I'd love to understand this in
details to be more productive in my work with Pico's.

Also, I tried to put the /kernel file to the 30MB SanDisk flash disk
(the kernel file was taken from 
/usr/src/release/picobsd/build/build_dir-flogw/kernel, where 'flogw'
is my Pico release).

Besides, one question more.  How could this kernel be put on the floppy,
if it's about 4 times bigger then floppy? :)

white@mule:~>ls -al /usr/src/release/picobsd/build/build_dir-flogw/kernel
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5069664 Mar 12 10:48 /usr/src/release/picobsd/build/build_dir-flogw/kernel

Thank you for your help, and looking forward your answers.
