[nos-bbs] Help with getting minimal JNOS configuration working

[Chris Maness]

That is solid advice, but in my case I went pitbull with it.  LinFBB is
(all flavors of FBB for that matter) is pretty awesome, and there is some
satisfaction in getting packet running in Linux natively.  Aside from that
there is probably no rational reason to run it save for fun of it.  Between
LinBPQ, JNOS, and direwolf you can do pretty much anything you want without
the native stack and user space, and the support is better.
