Hello,

I would like to make my FreeBSD pc a USB CD/DVD-ROM for a server.
I have a lot of bootable ISO images and I dont like to waste time and =20=

CD=B4s
on burning this images each time I need to use them (I usally damage =20
or loose
them between each time or they have been updated).  So instead I would =20=

like
to know if it is possible to make the FreeBSD USB stack behave as a =20
USB slave
and present an ISO image to another machine via a usb host-to-host =20
cable.
(I need to boot from the CD=B4s).

Anyone know?

I have seen some signs of this on Linux via a framework called usb-=20
gadget.
I think some people one The BlackDog project have made a driver that =20
does
exactly what I want, but its via their special device (just to install =20=

drivers) and
they don't make it anymore. :(

Regards,
=D8ystein Andreassen
