I tried a PCI-USB adapter but I don't think that was recognised for booting. Not to worry, I /am/ making some progress and can report on NTP later. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Re: [ntp:questions] Soekris net4501 help....
I fixed the problem - it seems that the physicaldiskwrite program is more successful than Win32DiskImager at writing the image to a CF card, so I now have the m0n0wall program running showing that the box works, at least. Now does anyone have a working NTP server image I might be able to download and play with for that box? -- Thanks, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

I have been the fortunate recipient of a Soekris net4501, but although I've written a Compact Flash card image it doesn't boot, from the CF card, although the V1.23 BIOS appears to work. I may not spend too long on this but could anyone point me to a known working image? I used m0n0wall net45xx-1.236.img as a test.
