Yes. I made PicoBSD-images for 4MB-DiskOnChip-devices.

my disktab-entries:

doc2k4|DiskOnChip 2000 4MB Chip:\
:dt=ESDI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#8:ns#1:nc#986:\
:pa#7888:oa#0:ba#0:fa#0:ta=4.2BSD:\
:pc#7888:oc#0:bc#0:fc#0:

and in the "stage1"-script, somewhere before the population of the
filesystem starts add:
...
vnconfig -u /dev/rvn0
dd of=picobsd.bin if=/dev/zero count=2880 bs=1k
vnconfig -c /dev/rvn0 picobsd.bin
disklabel -Brw -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/rvn0 doc2k4
newfs -T doc2k4 -m 0 -o space /dev/rvn0c
