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).
