DESCRIPTION:
This is a set of scripts that generates a bootable image, ISO file or boot 
files only, that create a working minimal installation of FreeBSD. This
minimal installation gets completely loaded into memory.

The image may be written directly using dd(1) into any bootable block device,
e.g. a hard disk or a USB stick e.g. /dev/da0, or a bootable slice only, 
e.g. /dev/ad0s1

REQUIREMENTS (build):
 - FreeBSD 6 or higher installed, tested on i386 or amd64
 - Base and kernel from a FreeBSD 6 or 7 distribution
   (release or snapshots, e.g mounted CDROM disc1 or ISO file)
 - mkisofs from sysutils/cdrtools (optional) to create ISO images

REQUIREMENTS (run):
 - a minimum of 512MB system memory

See BUILD and INSTALL files for building and installation instructions.
