If it's going in an outdoor grade sealed enclosure I'd Just paint it
white, and and not use a hard-drive. I've not had one fail due to heat
unless there was a hard-drive on top of the processor.

it seems the net5501 finds your harddrive, and the OpenBSD ram disk

OK. I will look into the flash=primary setting. Thanks.
I do not have a CF card. I do want to boot from SATA
Hi Kenneth,
First, you have set flash=primary. Your SATA drive is then secondary,
drive 81. You need to set flash=secondary if you intent to run without a
CF card and boot on the SATA drive.
You need to set PCIROMS=enabled for network boot to work.

Bad bad news! My net5501 is now a brick. It will not boot from any

using the disk just fine, including partitioning
