moving FreeBSD installation disk1 to an USB stick

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I'm preparing the installation of FreeBSD 7.0 on an Asus eeePC which has
no CD/DVD drive for the installation (and I have no external CD driver
with USB):

My idea is to 'copy' somehow the FreeBSD 7.0 installation disk1 to an
USB stick of 1 GByte; there is some kind of recipe how to put a boot-able
system onto such an USB stick, like;
http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22
but this is not what I want; I want to boot the stick (of course) and
run the 'sysinstall' having the complete disk1 on the stick;

maybe it is an option making only the file system on the stick and the
boot sector and fill in a dump of the file system of disk1, with some
minor changes that after booting it uses the USB as CD device?

any other ideas?

Thx in advance
