I am interested in making a custom designed slimmed down FreeBSD install. Basic idea: Rackmount PC, booting off of compact flash (looks like an IDE drive), no swap space, NFS mounting everything. From what I can tell from the kernel config on 3.x systems, disabling swapping and NFS mounting root partition seems to be no problem. What will I need to put on the compact flash disk? I am assuming just the boot blocks, a kernel and maybe some files from /etc. Is there a FAQ or a HOW-TO on how to do this? Also, any known problems with disabling swap space? Theoretically, with 256M-512M RAM in the machines, you wouldn't need to do any swapping.
