Hi! I got a new toy here, a RaQ 4. As this thing has no real BIOS, it was even hard to get a custom Linux distro installed. For long time it was not even possible to use it with a Linux 2.6 kernel. This is resolved in the meantime, so I'm running Gentoo with an unmodified 2.6 at the moment. However, I'm absolutely not at home with Linux and I would *love* to have a FreeBSD on that thingy. As i figured out, there is a ROM on it with a mini-Linux, that will look for an ext2/ext3 filesystem and for an /vmlinux.bz2 on /boot. Then it boots from there. This is really strange and seems to rule out FreeBSD completely. However, I can't believe that noone on earth hadn't FreeBSD running on it :-) Any hint would be appreciated. As an alternative, i could live with OpenBSD/NetBSD too. Cheers :)
