Im attempting to build a floppy (much like the install floppy) that will run a
very small FreeBSD kernel, with just enough bits to initiate a ppp connection
and start up a telnet session.  The provlem is I cant seem to find anything
about how to go about

A) building the kernel with the MFS in it

    and

B) Getting that kernel image to load from a floppy.

I've gone through the mailing lists to no avail.

If someone out there could summerize I'll write up a bit for the FreeBSD
handbook on how to go about accomplishing this feat..  Thanks!
