Hi Paul,
I am booting from a 512MB CF card, and run /var and /tmp from a RAM drive.
Upon startup, the CF card /var and /tmp dir. are copied into the ram drives,
the rest is Read Only. When it shuts down (not very often), the ram drive
contents are copied back to the CF card. You could backup
I noticed a project called NanoBSD in the freebsd handbook that is
intended for exactly this purpose. I compiled installed it just
fine on 6.1 release, but my hardware wouldn't boot a CF card, so I was
unable to verify that it worked.
Sounds like NanoBSD is to FreeBSD what m0n0wall is to
My bad. Says right on the m0n0wall homepage that it is based on
FreeBSD, not Linuxyea for us!

Hi,
I have played around with using an EPIA 600-PD (Fanless Dual NICS), with
256MB RAM. Works well, however, a buildworld takes around 4 hours ;-)

Hey,
this device is capable of 10,000 insertion/removal cycles I assume
Sorry for replying my own post, but now I fould out that this actually
means how many times can I insert/remove the module into/from the
motherboard. Actually the number I am interested in is much higher:
2,000,000

how many writes are performed during a normal operation of a FreeBSD

You could get an upper bound by running a perpetual iostat...

You will want the swap to some other device such a a regular hard drive. A
flash drive can get worn out cells and fail.

Hello Derek,

Also when just reading the flash drive? I would like to write to it
only when it is absolutely necessary (configuration change). I think
2 million

Hi,
m0n0wall gets around this by running out of RAM after booting from flash
(or CD, or hard disk):
Yes, I know both m0n0wall and pfSense, but I prefer a custom FreeBSD
installation
since I have developed some custom scripts which I would like to use.
This is what I am trying to do now -
