I can give more specifics if desired. Anyone else experience that? I have a bunch of different SD cards around here -- different sizes, different manufacturers -- and I think every one is 50MB-100MB smaller than the advertised size. > In terms of /etc/fstab, I think adding tmpfs to the kernel would be useful. Without it, using md(4) for /var/log, /tmp and /var/tmp is certainly a nice way to minimize disk writes. How well does this work on a machine with only 256MB RAM? > It might also make sense to add rc_debug="YES" and rc_info="YES" to the default /etc/rc.conf. Most users are testing right now, and it's only logical for the pool of people hacking on them. I wasn't aware of those options; I'll add them. One of my wish-list items is to figure out how to buildkernel with a config file stored outside of /usr/src. Then it would be possible to have a kernel config as part of the beaglebsd setup files, separate from the config in /usr/src that seems to be optimized for kernel debugging. > And maybe to add the relevant ntpdate(8) settings to /etc/rc.conf. Has anyone tried running ntpdate from devd? So that when/if the network interface initializes, ntpdate gets run at that point. That would avoid the tedious delay if there's no network at boot time.
