FreeBSD on IDE Flash disk drive

I noticed a project called "NanoBSD" in the freebsd handbook that is
intended for exactly this purpose.  I compiled & installed it just
fine on 6.1 release, but my hardware wouldn't boot a CF card, so I was
unable to verify that it worked.

Sounds like NanoBSD is to FreeBSD what m0n0wall is to Linux?
