Booting from Memory Stick

[Tim Kellers]

I made a bootable system on a stick a few months ago.  I used it to dd 
clone a WinXP image to some Gateway desktops in a lab.  I think I just 
plugged the stick into my FreeBSD laptop fired up sysinstall and treated 
the stick as a da drive that needed a full install.
