Hi Eric,

Well, in the case of soekris, there isn't any support for booting from
USB (the BIOS doesn't support USB as a boot device). There are
workarounds, but they basically come down to using the CF to load a
boot-load

the right initrd package and chan

Is the Bering-uClibc team producing images specifically targeted at

Bering-uClibc supports booting from USB flash devices with initrd_usb.

Everyone,
It looks like USB-HDD flash drives are the new floppy. Bios support for
usb-hdd boot has been around for approximately three years now. The
price of flash drives isn't an issue anymore. Thus, I sincerely think

drives.
