Hello,

I've an USB stick of 1 GByte and my idea is to put the FreeBSD 7.0
installation disk on this to boot from and install the system in a
laptop which does not have other external devices; in the past I've put
already a FreeBSD boot able system on such a stick, following this
recipe:
http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22
but this is not exactly a copy of the installation disk1;

is there any guide to do this? thanks in advance;

	matthias
