Hello,
We're working with two different Soekris models (net5501 and net4521),
working withFreeBSD 7.1 (nanobsd). We've found that the two models
exhibit different boot behavior. Summary: the 4521 works fine, and
the 5501 doesn't seem right. Here's what we see when we boot either:
net4521 (BIOS ver 1.33) --
* "boot0" menu appears (letting you pick either of two FreeBSD slices)
* OS loads properly from chosen or default slice
net5501 (BIOS ver 1.33c) --
* "boot0" menu does _not_ appear.
* system boots directly to slice 1 or 2, as chosen via BIOS option
BootPartition
Have others seen this behavior? For our application, we really need the
5501 to boot just like the 4521. Is this a bug (in BIOS, I'm guessing),
or am I doing something wrong? It seems like there should be a way to
clear the BootPartition setting, or set it to "MBR" or somesuch.
Thanks very much,
Charles
