I am new to Alpine Linux and would like to experiment with it and possibly
submit patches to improve the ACF modules, or add new ACF modules.  My main
question is: what do you use for your development environment?  Do you have
a physical box that you have Alpine loaded on that you use for development?
Do you use a VM?

I installed Alpine on a VMWare VM tonight, and it runs on it fine.  But on
every reboot, I lose the configuration.  I added a USB controller to the VM,
mounted the USB stick and did an lbu commit, which worked fine.  But it
doesn't seem to auto-mount the USB stick on boot (/dev/sdb1).  I'm not sure
if this is a timing issue - perhaps VMWare doesn't make the USB stick appear
to the VM early enough.  Maybe there's a simple command that once the
machine is booted will let me mount the stick and then load the committed
configuration from it.  Anyway, I'd be interested in seeing if you have any
ideas for this setup and/or finding out what other Alpine devs use for
development.

Thanks for any pointers.
