Yes, I have been playing around with NANOBSD (/usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd)
on a Lexar Jump drive. Dont use USB 2.0 as it seems broken with this unit
Change the Makefile to use
DEVICE?= da0
and make.conf, you need to add
NO_BIND=yes
Do a make and then
dd if=_.i of=/dev/da0 bs=64k
where da0 is your USB key drive
And you should be good to go.
One thing I have not figured out is how to change programatically what the
default is to boot. If I physically go to the console and hit F1 or F2,
the next time it will change the default. But I dont know how to do that
without physical access to the keyboard. I think I am just
misunderstanding boot0cfg.
