I presume that you've seen my guide at http://menhennitt.com.au/wordpress/2009/07/05/installing-freebsd-on-a-soekris-net5501-using-pxe-and-dnsmasq#more-14 and Jeremy's at http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/pxeboot_serial_install_8.html Also, there's a Soekris mailing list that often has stuff that's more Soekris specific - http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech I seem to remember having the same problem that you're having at one stage, but unfortunately, I can't remember the solution. Hope this helps, Graham
