With Linux you would just fdisk, mke2fs, cp the minimal : root and kernel to the SanDisk and run lilo and Bango! done... However, I : don't want to put that smelly OS on my nice fresh IOpener. I don't think there's a how-to beyond the picobsd stuff. I've written some scripts to help out, but I'm not going to release them for a while. They are too specific to my needs and not general enough. : I can compile a custom FreeBSD kernel and cvsup my sources for a good-ol' : make world, but I am ignorant when it comes to manipulating FreeBSD : "slices", labels and boot record settings. You could just cp the root and : kernel files over but, I imagine, there is alot more involved in creating a : bootable disk. Could someone outline the steps for me?
