[talk] dmesg writes, usb stick booting

[Isaac (.ike) Levy]

Hi All,

I'm interested in doing some laptop hardware evaluations.

I remember some years ago, somebody had made a cool multi-bsd bootable
image, which had a writable partition which mounted under each BSD on
it?  (Was this Dru Lavigne if I remember correctly?)

Did anyone keep that up?  (I somehow remember it being a script which
allowed a user to specify the disk image for each OS being loaded, so it
was easier to keep up with OS updates.)

Anyhow, if nobody remembers that gem - I'm totally looking for any easy
instructions on making *BSD from USB media, with a writable partition
(to simply get dmesg output).  FreeBSD/OpenBSD are my particular
targets, but any general instructions would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,
