In the meantime I'm compiling some apps (argh! emacs port doesn't compile). I hope to have a test iso soon. Little update to the article. USB, sadly, works better than FireWire. When booting from FireWire i'm not able to make a buildworld. It exits really at *random* points with quite *random* error codes (96, 120, 223...). Absolutely no problem switching to USB (same box, it's a combo usb/fw external case).
