  * USB stick, 2G or larger

===== Preparing flash devices on an existing FreeBSD host =====
  - Fetch the [[http://people.freebsd.org/~ray/efika_mx/Efika_MX_SD_card.img.xz|SD card]] and [[http://people.freebsd.org/~ray/efika_mx/Efika_MX_USB_Flash.img.xz|USB stick]] images
  - Write the SD card image

<code>
xz -dc Efika_MX_SD_card.img.xz | dd of=/dev/mmcsd0 bs=64k
</code>

  - Write the USB stick image

<code>
xz -dc Efika_MX_USB_Flash.img.xz | dd of=/dev/da0 bs=2m
</code>

**Note:** The ''%%/dev/mmcsd0%%'' and ''%%/dev/da0%%'' devices above are examples from a Thinkpad X220 laptop.  Check device names carefully to ensure they correspond to your desired media before issuing the ''%%dd%%'' commands.
