Hi there.

I have two questions:

1: Is FreeBSD able to boot from a USB CD-ROM? For example on a VIA 
Mini-ITX system.

2: How can I make an image of an installed system and burn it to CD so 
that I can install it on another system? I've heard of g4u but that 
seems to rely on an external FTP and DHCP server, where I really want a 
standalone system where I just need to give someone a CD and they 
install it.

Thanks.
