I know there's quite a bit of information for doing home-grown Linux LiveCD's, or modifications on Knoppix for forensics, pen-testing, what have you. But there doesn't seem to be anywhere near as much selection for the BSD users.

You can also find an live-cd running openbsd firewall at:

<------------------------------- Quoting
------------------------------------------->:
This project allows you to set up a full featured OpenBSD firewall
without the use of a hard disk. The system boots from a CDROM and stores
configuration information on either a floppy, or a USB mass storage
device, such as a "pen drive" or a USB CompactFlash reader.

The CD also contains a simple install script, to allow you populate a
floppy or UMASS device with a basic firewall configuration. Simply boot
the CD, select the media you wish to use, and answer some
straightforward questions.

After the initial boot, the floppy can be set read only. This provides
enhanced security, because if your firewall is attacked, you simply
reboot and it is restored to its previous state. Of course, you'll want
to do something about the security hole that allowed the initial attack.

The latest version, based on OpenBSD 3.5, adds several new features. The
firewall now provides PPTP VPN and a caching nameserver out of the box.
