I ended up installing a new 3.x kernel and FBSD binaries 'cause picobsd's were a little buggy and the systeme used a MFS root which obviously was too much for 4mb! I lost the box recently when the root crashed. I never got to use the drive again, but it showed me how one can use PicoBSD to 'invade' a very small box with FBSD binaries. --- At 22:02 of March 18, Big Brother made Warner Losh write: > I have a 4.0-stable system running in 17MB of a 48MB CF card stuck in > an IDE <-> CF adapter from www.tapr.org.
