I would like to get some advise on setting up a freebsd box with the following config: - Boots from CD-ROM - Get's it's config files '/etc' from an IDE NVRAM drive or Flash drive I will acquire a CD-R shortly (I'm open to suggestions on which CD-R to buy too :) I would like to get help in what I need to do to make a CD-ROM bootable like the Live Filesystem, but with only the bare minimums: pppd natd fwtk etc... It'll be a headless box used to support a dial-out ppp session, with NAT on it to work as a front end for a low-speed link to the Internet. No frills, and for a max. of 3-4 client machines with very low traffic... Thanks!
