The card is too small for me to do a minimal installation but seems to be big enough where I don't need to use the MFS approach and eat up RAM. I'd prefer to just have FreeBSD boot from a live filesystem on the CF directly. Also, can somebody forward Soren's original post regarding the MachZ board he's doing? We might be interested. Thanks!
