NanoBSD is basically a modified version of our diskless environment, in that it relies on a standard layout tree, with the exception that it uses populated memory file systems for /var and /etc. As we see storage device size increase, we're seing embedded environments use more and more standard installs, and likewise, the FreeBSD CD install environment move over also (it now uses a live file system).
