I don't know about FreeBSD booting from USB, I'm curious too. Let's wait for a reply.

Yes, but I want the people using this box to easily take out the USB stick and move it over to a desktop pc, without requiring them to have a CF reader. > I don't know about FreeBSD booting from USB, I'm curious too. Let's > wait for a reply. I've found some references for Linux, so it is definitely possible.

And must be supported by the parent hardware. After initial bootloader you get a umass scsi emulation on the usb stick. It would be possible to use it. With normal bootloader. If you can load the loader on the boot 0 block. I heard not all usb sticks support this. > I've been searching these lists and google but found nothing helpful > yet. > > With kind regards, > Ben Robert -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
