Overview
The FreeBSD 10 ministick does not have sshd enabled by default. It must be manually configured. The same goes for the FreeBSD 12.1 ministick (mini memory stick image). mfsBSD already offers it by default. Here is how to enable it on the FreeBSD ministick. There are no permanent settings yet, so it will have to be entered every time - good for disaster recovery practice. More on remastering later.
