[ ... ] > Has anyone got any experience with these machines and any advice? I've got one or two of the older Soekris 4501's, running NetBSD 2.0 via 128MB CF. They booted FreeBSD 4 OK, though, and you might want to retest using 4.11 rather than 6.0 and see whether it does better for you. Otherwise, give NetBSD a spin, it's targetted more for that type of appliance role and is going to be tuned more reasonably for the hardware you've got. -- -Chuck
