Thanks Ocicat .. I was a bit ambiguous in the last question .. rephrasing :
How can I install some BSD flavor on a fat32 formatted usb flash using fat32 rather than ffs .. the way I once did with slax ?
I read the 4th section and still can't figure out what you meant by "change default FFS filesystem on the boot partition" .. do you mean setting / read only ?
once again sorry for being ambigious .. what I meant by security-risk .. not physically possessing the device .. but on the network .. since to msdos filesystem .. *Nixes can access +rw .. unlike with ffs .. so the issue is penetrating and not only being able to read content where no cryptography is used .. so the question is : how then (presumming that it's possible to use OpenBSD the slax-way) can I deny bad guys from compromising the system ? while still it is +rw fat32 ..
maybe the whole thing is impossible and that I am forcing "something-slax" on OpenBSD to adopt ..
