Abstract
This article covers the use of solid state disk devices in FreeBSD to create embedded systems.
Embedded systems have the advantage of increased stability due to the lack of integral moving parts (hard drives). Account must be taken, however, for the generally low disk space available in the system and the durability of the storage medium.
Specific topics to be covered include the types and
attributes of solid state media suitable for disk use in FreeBSD,
kernel options that are of interest in such an environment,
the rc.initdiskless mechanisms that
automate the initialization of such systems and the need for
read-only filesystems, and building filesystems from scratch.
The article will conclude with some general strategies for
small and read-only FreeBSD environments.
