Feasibly using this method and your recent bsdbox MFS kernel sounds most
logical size/space wise
as Im looking to do this without a usb stick/flash. simply small wireless
ap/pf  is all. I also looked at the
nanobsd stuff ... I considered an MFS kernel / bsdbox / integrated and
nanobsdized, also i looked at
the bsd router project which is a nano based stripped image + including 2
packages. So it appears this
is probably the way ill go. During the process Ill document and post scripts
once i get a viable running
system. Sounds like it would also be secure as once its rebooted being mfs
all mods/changes go away
and the configuration once set is static so mfs would be ok.
