All- I am attempting to use a Seagate ST1.2 Microdrive (4GB) in my WRAP platform. I imaged it with the embedded image as a start (I'll play around with converting it to R/W later). I use the memory card reader on my printer to write the image, which was a first (my CF/PC card adapter doesn't

Yes! I tried grub on both: pfSense and IPCop. Grub does really do anything on FreeBSD, since it just load the FreeBSD loader. I think it is a kernel issue. On Via-based hardware, the CF socket cannot handle DMA, just PIO, not until the c7-based systemboard arriving later this year. These high
