Testers please?

I've integrated @khorben 's new kernel feature into smolBSD: -I flag will instruct QEMU to load the image in an initrd RAM disk.While at it I made smol images smoler, here's an example of a fast, read only user shell microvm with basic UNIX tools and ssh client, all in 50MB […]

smol crowd!
@khorben has proposed a very neat patch for the NetBSD kernel: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2025/11/26/msg030772.html
It basically allows to use the QEMU -initrd flag to pass a disk image as a RAMdisk <3 from there, a LOT of possibilities...
I'll include this in the SMOL […]

Want to try #smolbsd in no time without building, fetching, or even reading the doc?

$ curl -fsSL -o- https://smolbsd.org/sh|sh

No root needed, only qemu. It should work on Linux amd64, arm64, and macOS.
This will fire up a NetBSD rescue image with minimal tools!
