Hi Folks,

I'm trying to make a minimal boot system on a compact flash, 64 MB. I have an IDE compact flash adapter so I'm sure I can treat the compact flash as a disk but where can I find a list of minimal files for creating a FreeBSD installation and how do I get the boot manager into the first sector. 

Any suggestions for the partition sizes etc...

Any tips or links would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Paul
