Hi,

we're going to build a simple Wlan between a friends apartment and my house.
We decided to run obsd 4.0 as we want to use ipsec for encryption.
One of these systems will have to boot from a CF Card (or any other really 
silent media if you have suggestions). Since flash media only has limited 
write cycles and we will need to modify some files from time to time (Port 
forwards in pf.conf, some files in /var and so on..., logging isn't that 
important) we want to use a ramdisk (or tmpfs, don't know the exact name) and 
then sync the data to disk every hour or so. Is there a Howto for booting 
openbsd from a CF-Card (using an IDE adapter) and then mounting a ramdisk 
over /var? (I think we could just symlink files in /etc which we will need to 
modify to the ramdisk).
