Is there a way to install the system onto a disk that is less than 1GB is size?

Every install image I have tried all require a minimum of 1GB of available storage space on the disk with both ZFS and UFS options.

Thanks!
 
A USB live system that I made is 451 MB. It's a compressed mfsroot-based system with a GENERIC 15 kernel and world. It's 1900 with a minimal Xorg. To make it, you have to create a bootable USB image and add only the base system to it. My version copies everything to memory before booting up, so we don't suffer the slow USB r/w access time, but you can't save anything on the bootdisk either. Pkg install in RAM works until you're out of memory. Everything will be gone after a reboot. It's still pretty much script code to make this and took me a lot of time. Advantage is that you can boot someone else's computer with it, browse the \Windows disk and leave no trace. It does need a BIOS/UEFI bootdevice selection and secure boot off.
