I have managed to build snv_78 from sources and everything seems to work
well. Certainly no panic at boot with this VIA Esther processor because of a
cache optimization issue ( see bugid 6580117[1] ).  Previous to snv_74 this
board would just panic at boot *after* a build/BFU/ACR cycle.  Woo hoo .. it
works solid as a rock despite its configuration ( see my blog[2] ).

The next question is how to create a single filesystem on a USB attached
device ( like a USB Stick from SanDisk or Kingston etc ) where the
filesystem is supported and read/write functional on all of
Win32/Win64/Linux and Solaris/UNIX.

I don't think that NTFS is worth looking at because it is closed and
proprietary. Microsoft could bork that up at a whim without telling anyone.
The only two others I see are old world FAT nd FAT32. The FAT type
filesystem is too small and restricted for anything real world. That leaves
FAT32.

Am I missing anything ?  Any suggestions ?
