Yes, but my goal is to make floppy that is very configurable at run time
and capable of saving configuration changes.
For example, I tried to build pico kernel with several drivers for 
ISA etherenet cards and use /boot/kernel.conf for tuning (enable/disable etc).
I see that 'update' script will take care of it.
So I made /usr/src/release/picobsd/MY/floppy.tree/boot/kernel.conf, 
but it does not go into image.
