Competing Scripts

I have found three scripts that may work to generate an IMG file suitable for use when booting a system

iso2usb - originally an ubuntu script?
fbsd2usb - ???
fbsd2img - ???

scripts attached to this document for evaluation.


thanks julian

# iso2usb - Create an usb stick from a live disk image/device.
# (C) 2007 Julian Andres Klode <juliank@ubuntu.com>
# iso2usb 6.4-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
# dd if=usbimg of=/dev/da0 bs=1m


Insert the usb stick into host computer (already running FreeBSD) (normally this shows up as device da0) and execute the commands below. (need to test this)
