Hey there folks,
I am wondering if anyone has any pointers on creating a custom Qcow2
FreeBSD that is akin in size to nanobsd. I have an environment where we
need to run a single binary and want to keep our disk image as small as
possible. It will run inside a user-mode Qemu process. Reading through
the nanobsd script it seems that it expects a raw disk for installation,
so I do think using the nanobsd script itself well work well. Has
anyone else done something similar? My goal is to have a disk image
that is around 500MB.
Thanks in advance!

I would expect the answer is `poudriere image` with a src.conf with many
WITHOUT_* knobs to disable things you don't need to get the image down
in size. There is likely a list of such knobs you could borrow from nanobsd.
Thanks Allan - I hadn't thought of using poudriere in this way, I'll
give this a shot tonight!
