FreeBSD kompakt

Hello all,

as promised, I've extracted the tinybsd related files from my current  
environment. Currently I build images with less than 6 MB disk space  
used. This is the bare minimum, of course. You can boot, log in, have  
a shell (/bin/sh only) and that's it. Cron, syslog and the likes  
should work.

The main reason why I'm sending this is, I modified tinybsd pretty  
hefty, resulting in an almost-rewrite. Nevertheless, everything works  
as before, just a lot faster: kernel is built on demand only, the  
remaining part takes about 20 seconds. Additionally, the full file  
hierarchy is left aside, directories are created as needed. For more  
details I've left some comments in the script.

Please let me know what you think about this and which parts I should  
extract as a precise patch for inclusion in FreeBSD.

-------------- next part --------------


Cheers,
MarKus
