There might be some more parts: Common ways on running host: does and don'ts Working with cf-cards (some info I remember from Paul-Henning Kamp from EuroBSD Basel 2005) I 've written today a part on PXE (for net4826) boards with onboard flash. http://martenvijn.nl/trac/wiki/PXEboot related to tinybsd. I have some scripts in pre-alpha than could be examples, in use in bluespot (a tool scanning bluetooth devices) http://bluespot.wifisoft.org In some time I hope to cleanup code far enough to push it to a public svn.
