I want to use nanobsd to generate optimized FreeBSD-7.0-release images on USB pen drive. I generated images with nanobsd. It works on a standard pc with an old Celeron 2.4Ghz but on a brand new supermicro X7SBi with a Core 2 Quad it
doesn't boot.


Take a look at pfSense, a freebsd-based firewall/router with a nice GUI. I believe it can boot from USB stick. It will run as a live CD as well, which seems more secure than USB since you can't corrupt it. It is open source and free of cost.

See http://www.pfsense.com/


If you *really* want to roll your own with nanobsd, see if you can make it use grub as the boot loader instead. I hear it has an easier time with some hardware.
