Hi,

we are using a minimal footprint system from 8-16M flash devices, and
use a modified picobsd build to generate a crunch-based filesystem.
Basically, the build is aborted when the picobsd ramdisk image has been
populated, and we write the image directly on to the flash disk. Works
nicely, and you can get a pretty fully functional system in 4 megs.
