Hi Sean, I'm one user running FreeBSD on the ERL boxes, which in my case works fine except for the dreaded issue that altq doesn't support the new framework that octe uses so no QoS on the ERLs for now. There's also a PR about this which I've submitted. 1. I've really avoided generating new images because I remember have figuring out quite a bit of "fun" commands to get this running and aligned properly or at least I think I managed to do so. For some reason I used memory mapped filesystems due to endianess which was quite a pain, at least that's my experience. I based it on http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/mkoctimage , I think I have the whole set of commands here somewhere if you're interested. That said, while I do get i/o timeouts (swapper times out) if I write lets say a 6Gb large file using dd but normal usage is fine most of the time. 2. No idea about the tftp issue, never tried it at all. 3. As above, at least using a Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 16Gb flash drive it works pretty good, sure it's not like a SSD but it runs along fine in general. 4. Haven't tried ports recently but I do have a pretty old box that builds fine (FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Sat May 4 01:29:11 UTC 2013), I do have a newer revision (r267486) which seems to work fine including building. You can find it here http://randominfo.pyret.net/index.php?controller=page&action=view&id_page=1 (image is a raw copy off a Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 16Gb flash drive). 5. Haven't played around with tcpdump so I don't know, anything particular you want me to try as I can probably have a look at it next week. Best regards, Daniel
