I looked into this for a project a couple of years ago (to boot VMs from minimal customized ISO) and ended up using mfsbsd instead. https://github.com/mmatuska

- tiffanyh 5y agoThat's interesting, this appears to be created by a core FreeBSD developer. https://mfsbsd.vx.sk https://mfsbsd.vx.sk I'm not able to find a lot of documentation on it. How does it compare to NanoBSD (and why did you choose it over Nano)?
- enduser 5y agomfsbsd builds a custom live CD using an easily-customized Makefile. NanoBSD expects multiple partitions, some of which are mutable, so is more oriented toward booting small systems from flash. For my purposes I needed an application server that would reboot to a known-good state, so I embedded the application code inside a mfsbsd live CD.
