Dear all,

I try to cobble together a machine that will be used as a router under
OpbenBSD 3.7 when it comes out. The idea is to have no moveable parts,
so it is going to be a box based on a VIA Epia board with a 600 or 800
Mhz processor, which does not require a fan. No real hard
disk. Instead I would like to use a USB stick for mass storage, since
they are a bit cheaper than equivalent IDE flash drives but more
importantly, they can easily be pulled out and for instance swapped
with another stick with patches, upgrades or a newer version of the OS.

I have searched the archives and Goggle, but I have only found
messages from people who have not managed to boot from a USB stick
and/or mount a filesystem from it as root. Is there somebody out there
who has succeeded using OpenBSD in such a configuration?

Many thanks in advance,
