    This will format in ufs file system. Use newfs_msdos to create a new MS-DOS (FAT / FAT 32) file system. newfs_msdos /dev/ad1s1 Once formatted you can mount it: mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t msdos /dev/da1s1 /mnt/usb Replace ad1s1 with actual device names.

    Compile custom kernel on another machine

    another option is to use rsync to push file from build to target server: rsync -av /usr/src root@server1:/usr/src rsync -av /usr/obj root@server2:/usr/obj ... etc I think rsync is not installed by default but nfs client and server exits in base. So SirDice method is quite good, IMHO.

    ISC-Dhcpd + Jail

    I cannot think of anything else but 8 has new networking stack to communicate between jail. Jails can now have its own firewall and routing too. You need to add 'options VIMAGE' to kernel config and build it again. See jail(8) and epair(4) man pages.

    FreeBSD Toolkit DVD

    Yes, almost everything can be installed from DVD. However, when you purchase something from freebsdmall they donate some money to freebsd project. Either way download and donate some money directly or purchase it and they will donate it.

    Power consumption

    Only server and workstation grade hardware provide this kind of data via sensor. And most of them dependents upon proprietary drivers and java front ends. Few drivers are there in both Linux / FreeBSD that support command line options via ipmitool to read the data via CLI. But as I said you...
