Hello,
I would like to make my FreeBSD pc a USB CD/DVD-ROM for a server.
I have a lot of bootable ISO images and I dont like to waste time and
CD´s
on burning this images each time I need to use them (I usally damage
or loose
them between each time or they have been updated). So instead I would
like
to know if it is possible to make the FreeBSD USB stack behave as a
USB slave
and present an ISO image to another machine via a usb host-to-host
cable.
(I need to boot from the CD´s).
Anyone know?
I have seen some signs of this on Linux via a framework called usb-
gadget.
I think some people one The BlackDog project have made a driver that
does
exactly what I want, but its via their special device (just to install
drivers) and
they don't make it anymore. :(
Regards,
