as you can imagine, the only version that i tested somehow
(and on a local tree, with the /usr/ports/picobsd things)
is the "bridge" one... So if you have patches to the PICOBSD
and crunch.conf files, they are welcome...

One note -- oinit was a solution to save memory and let the
system run in 4MB. I seriously doubt we can even think of
it with 4.x due to generic code bloat. At which point, the
next viable configs being 8 or 16MB, who cares about
200KB more in the decompressed image as long as it fits the
floppy.
