Oh, that looks interesting :)
I never knew of such a thing, is it a well kept secret or am I not
widely read-enough ?
In point of fact I am slightly puzzled by /stand's existance. It says in
"hier" that it is for stand-alone systems. What exactly is it referring
to ? (Yes I know what stand-alone means ! But what context is this used
in ?)

PicoBSD (see the scripts in ports and the freebsd-small mailing list) uses
it extensively to fit a subset of commands onto small media (typically a
single floppy disc) for use in niche aplications (eg a diskless pc as a router).
