smol crowd!While silent, I'm preparing smol things.Years ago, I was already into smol systems and produced a tool named sailor https://github.com/NetBSDfr/sailorI plan on integrate it to smolBSD for a while but I didn't find the right way to do it.Now on my local dev branch I have something usable and comprehensive, but here's the thing: sailor was meant to be portable, yet I have to face that the project is not used by any other system than NetBSD, so I plan on cutting the Linux and MacOS branch which probably don't work anymore.If by any chance you are using it with anything elsa than NetBSD, *or* are wiling to take on portability, please raise your hand.

Hot take: by reducing images with sailor, I have a 50MB sshd image :)

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 https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD/tree/main/service/usershell

There are obviously a LOT of missing features, but the base is encouraging :)
