Hi,
Suppose I want to build netbsd for an internet appliance
which has typical IPv4 routing features, for example as 
listed in a standard router like this..

or like this..

nat, ipfilter, web browser, dhcp, maybe smb, etc.

How much flash mem does the kernel and minimal userland require 
for this kind of config using arm or mips.  2 megabytes bzipped?
4 megabytes bzipped?   Then, how much RAM is required for
unpacking & running..  4 megabyte?  8 megabyte?

For example taking evbarm, compiling in this config, 
and running on an eval card.  What's the ballpark estimate.

I have been attempting this with linux recently and have
found that kernel + gnu libs is about 3x to 4x too big,
using other clibs like uclibc gets it down to about 2x to 
3x too big, compared to other embedded o/s.

How much physical memory does a network-attached-storage 
kernel + userland require, for example.

I also am curious how much of netbsd userland would require 
replacing with other apps, for example fully-featured dhcpd 
may need replacing with something else for size reasons, where
fancy features are not required.  In the linux world the 
udhcpd package is used with busybox.

Anyone have a comment on this kind of target.
