From the pico details of building doc. > After preparing the filesystem (which again involves doing disklabel(8) and newfs(8) - here you can notice that the resulting FS has very small number of inodes in order to save space), the script transfers the floppy hierarchy (which is taken from ../${TYPE}/floppy.tree). Notice that it also contains the /etc directory - its contents is copied right after bootup to the real /etc in MFS. This allows for changing the system behaviour (because you can't change the MFS contents without recompiling). < I had a similar problem You can edit the rc.conf in /usr/src/release/picobsd/router/lang/ and then build yourself a new picobsd router floppy image.
