Hi Thomas, if you need to make lots of frequent little changes for testing, using an NFS root might be more practical. With Linux it's fairly easy (PXELinux + kernel boot options), with OpenBSD it's a bit trickier (see "Embedded OpenBSD" at www.kernel-panic.it). With other OSes I don't know, but there are likely to be numerous docs about the topic out there.
