Well, with mkfwimage it is possible to write FreeBSD into flash on RSPRO and 
boot from it. I just verified this. Using it the way it's used in mkflash 
script has one drawback, I think - your setup is static and you are not using 
whole flash to its best potential as well. Actually, with patches you are able 
to read flash (verified) and probably write to it, too, so the 'only' 
remaining part is ffs tuned to use it...
