There is mention of this in the archives for sure (search
for mkflash from Warner Losh).
That said, we are able to get images below 10 MB (depending
on what programs are included). One big savings is
running buildworld with NOSHARED=no. This will build
executables in /bin and /sbin that are dynamically linked.
You cannot do this if you have a separate / and /usr (/usr
is not mounted until later in the boot process).
As far as stripping out unnecessary bits from the base
installworld, we have some scripts. At the core of these
scripts is the following:
populatedisk()
{
(cd $FreeBSDSrcDir
make -m ${FreeBSDSrcDir}/share/mk -f Makefile.inc1 \
hierarchy DESTDIR=$1 NOMAN=yes
(cd etc ; make -m ${FreeBSDSrcDir}/share/mk \
distribution DESTDIR=$1 NOMAN=yes)
for i in ${FreeBSDProgramDirs}; do
echo "==> $i"
test -d $i &&
(cd $i ; make -m ${FreeBSDSrcDir}/share/mk \
install -DNOINFO -DNOMAN DESTDIR=$1 -DNOPROFILE)
done)
rm -f $1/usr/lib/*.a
.
.
.
For a pretty basic set of bits to install, we set
FreeBSDProgramDirs to:

bin/cat \
bin/cp \
bin/csh \
bin/date \
bin/dd \
