In our current hardware, you can take the SD Card out and the system st= ill boots up. Furthermore, you can put a completely blank SD Card and then = reinstall everything since the system is running. As I mentioned earlier, there are things that can be done, but none of which I think are very desirable. What initially excited me on FreeBSD/Arm was the possibility of running ZFS on an SSD and have multiple boot environments and data snapshots using a multi-core Arm system with 1+ GB of RAM. Super robust and super fast. I've had to abandon all of that in my prototype. Russ
