> I am looking to run a minimal FreeBSD build on a USB key disk as a network monitoring system, but I am having great difficulty getting information on how to do so. FreeBSD is my preferred *nix OS, but if I am not able to get a USB boot solution in a reasonable time, I will have to move my project to a Linux based solution as there are already Linux USB boot systems out there. > > All assistance is appreciated. I think that even if I could get some info on the BSD bootup sequence/etc I might be able to build something workable. I believe there is currently code in the FreeSBIE CVS that allows you to install FreeSBIE (which is a FreeBSD 'live CD' distribution) onto any target device - including pen drives. http://www.freesbie.org/ Note that this ability is *not* in FreeSBIE 1.0 or 20040919. You will need to check the code out of CVS. Instructions are on this page: http://www.freesbie.org/?section=cvs-en Hope you get it working. I'm sure the freesbie_at_gufi.org team will be happy to help you out if you have problems. They also hang out on IRC, irc://irc.azzurra.org/freesbie .
