Select the right distrib dir of course.. You'll also need the matching

scaled-down Soekris model with dual CF. And slots in the side for the CF

Hi,
I run OpenBSD from CF cards without any problem. CF is the cheap and
flexible option. For the price of a single 2.5 HDD you can have 10 or
more CF cards lying around, each with its own OS and/or configuration,
or as backups.
Writing speed is an issue with the cheaper cards, whether that is a
I forgot to mention: no moving parts, no mount trouble, no heat issues,
no cables in weird places, no noise, no need for extra fans - CF!;)

Hi,
I've been running dhcpd/tftpd on OpenBSD 3.8-4.2 on a PC without
problems, for booting my Soekris boxens. However, when I run [almost]
the exact same config on a net4521, and try booting another Soekris box

I also wonder what that last line means, nothing seems to happen on the

Except for the first one, I have been doing just that with my net4501,
net4801, net5501.
Do you run CURRENT or some 3.8-4.2 on you net4521? The -l option
for tftpd is new to 4.3, so if you are not running CURRENT that may be
the reason for the rapid re-execution.

Hi Mark,
Wim Vandeputte from KD85.com, who also happens to include a User Manual
and directives for flashing the boot ROM with every Soekris board/box
leaving the nest;), ships Soekris boards in every convceivable case
format, I believe. See http://www.kd85.com/.

I agree. Also, a lynx from the Soekris web site to the Soekris-Info Wiki

Hello Lars,
not sure about the OS you're using, probably FreeBSD (?), but you will
have to re-create the device nodes in the MFS partition under /dev after
