What "Freesbie" are you talking about? Phk was referring to the second
version of the toolkit I presented recently in Ottawa, that is perfectly
usable for embedded system and it's ready to welcome new platforms. It
is already ported for powerpc architecture and I want it to be ported to
the arm and other archs (I don't have the hardware). Porting is really
trivial. I suggest you to take a look:

anonymous at cvs.freesbie.org module freesbie2 or:
http://bugs.freesbie.org/dir?d=freesbie2

pfSense embedded images, which you mentioned in this thread, are a great
example of use of FreeSBIE for packing a FreeBSD embedded 'distro'.
