Quick and dirty building with a memdisk

mkdir /mnt/memdisk
mkdir /mnt/uboot

truncate -s 1100M bbb.img
sudo mdconfig -f bbb.img

gpart create -s mbr md0
gpart add -t fat32 -b 1M -s 50M md0 # should this be *fat* not fat32? below we use F16 for fat.
sudo newfs_msdos -F16 /dev/md0s1
gpart add -t freebsd md0
sudo newfs /dev/md0s2
