Hi Jason,
Like yr idea - LOTS :) We may still use a disk for some logs, but if that
goes, no big deal! Any idea how to mount a CF as a boot device? Quick search
on Google didn't bring much back of interest. Is their a faq / how-to? Also,
what kinds of CF adapters work - anything I should be looking out for? I
checked on the amd64 page on OpenBSD and it didn't specifically mention
anything about CF devices. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
Cheers,
Karl
http://www.pcengines.ch makes IDE CF adapters powered through either a
HD or floppy connector, I have a few of these which seem to work well.
You can get a reseller list from the website shop.
It's pretty straightforward to set up a full OBSD system, just use mfs
for var and temp. (from memory, for 3.6 there was a small change to make
to rc to avoid double-mounted partitions, I'm not sure it's still necessary)
this short doc outlines the install on CF:
