Why, well longs story, the shot version is it needs to be able to be turned off and on like a lite switch. (I understand the on part will take longer, but the off is just hit the button). When I release this box it will have no console access. I have found 2 articles that talked about doing this and made a cdrom. The problem is that I used the boot.flp from the install, with my own custom kernel and it went into sysinstall like I wanted to install the system. Without building the entire FreeBSD distro how do I make my own boot.flp file and what goes on it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
