Thanks for the suggestion! From the PicoBSD page (http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/), I had concluded that PicoBSD was pretty well moribund. Reviewing the past few weeks of the freebsd-small list, it seems I was in error. We're currently running 4.3-RELEASE on Advantech hw because at the time PicoBSD looked like a non-start. We desperately need to get the flash requirement down. Is there documentation somewhere that explains the connection between FreeBSD-4.x and PicoBSD, and how to get from the one to the other? I apologize if this is a stupidly obvious question and I'm the only person left on earth who doesn't know the answer.
