It's read-only, it can't modify the disk. You can change the passwd
before PicoBSD is built, if you're building it off a FreeBSD
machine.

Yes it is.

It's built from the kernel and some userland utilitie

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/release/picobsd/

Everything you need should be there. You should be able to change
the root password before the floppy is built.

>  Does the PicoBSD support some add-ons such as gcc or perl?

It "supports" them, but you're gonna have a hard time fitting them
on a PicoBSD floppy. You're gonna have a harder time editing and
storing files on a floppy :)

What exactly is it you want to do?
