FreeBSD did not work, I think because the bootup stuff in the kernel wants to as the BIOS "a few questions", and there's not bios there.

I would really like to boot freebsd out of flash. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
