Hello,
It is relatively easy to produce a FreeBSD 7.0 booting USB key (for
example for the installation of FreeBSD 7.0 if the target machine has no
CD but only USB externals), if one follow more or less the description in
http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22
a little success story with freebsd and a tiny usb stick:
[tried with FreeBSD 6.1-BETA4 install-cd and a kingston 256MB
usb-flash-drive]
prepare yourself to work on the command-line ;-)
- attach the usb-stick to the server
- boot the freebsd installation cd-rom
- go to the "fixit" shell
- CHECK YO
