I think it already is. picobsd/floppy.tree is the template, picobsd/profile/floppy.tree overrides it, and picobsd/profile/floppy.tree.exclude omits the listed files. The tree needs cleaning up though, there are plenty of redundant files. And, I want to place /etc files in the MFS image, for static files that won't need editing, for instance.
