I want to load FreeBSD, compile a custom kernel, and get the OS (executables and everything) as small as possible. Then I want to be able to just image this onto a HDD or more likely, one of those disk-on-a-chip things. Loading FreeBSD, making the kernel, and making it small is easy, but I don't have a clue as to how I am going to image this onto another HDD or that chip without loading from the CD or something like that. I would appreciate any advise you could give me. Thanks. Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
