I think that you can use vnconfig to enable the image on a virtual
filesystem then mount it. Once the image is mounted somewhere, you can
copy things over to the image and/or edit files that are part of the
image. You *do* have to be conscious of size (meaning: don't try to
copy something to the floppy that it can't accomodate) but I think
that you'll have enough room to put a simple config file. :-)
Here's what I've done in the past (this is from memory; please forgive
me if something is wrong or has escaped me!):
1.) mount PicoBSD floppy somewhere.
2.) Copy image from PicoBSD floppy to your HD.
3.) vnconfig -v -c /dev/vn0c <picobsd_image>
4.) mount /dev/vn0c /mnt/whatever
5.) cd /mnt/whatever
6.) Edit the files that you want or copy things over to /mnt/whatever.
7.) umount /mnt/whatever
8.) vnconfig -v -u /dev/vn0c
9.) Copy update image back to mounted floppy.
10.) Umount floppy.
11.) Boot PicoBSD floppy on your router box. Should be fine.
