Has anyone successfully been able to install FreeBSD on one > of those boxes using a compact flash card? Not FreeBSD, but I have installed and used OpenBSD successfully. There are a few "tricks" involved in using the CF card. Here's my fstab listing - it may help get you started: $ cat /etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw,noaccesstime 1 1 # /dev/wd0d /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 /dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=128000 0 0 /dev/wd0b /var mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,union,-s=128000 0 0 /dev/wd0g /usr ffs rw,nodev,noaccesstime 1 2 Check the soekris & OpenBSD mailing list archives for more goodies. > If this were possible, I could replace my router with that, and a couple > clients' machines with something far smaller and with much less power > consumption.
