I have access to a 4801.  I can test if needed.  I don't run freebsd
though so I'd need some help with understanding what needs to be
tested.

What I did once was install an OS onto CF that had the boot and
install image on it, then did an install onto an IDE disk (this was a
4801).  So I in effect had a fully running system, that I could also
in the event of an emergency boot from CF to fix or re-install the
system. :-)

I picked up a used 4801 a while ago, loaded a full install of openbsd
on it to test just exactly that.   I didn't care if it fried the card
in a month or 2, or 6.  It's been running now for over a year with no
problems at all. I've used it exactly the same way I would if it had a
disk in it. I'm not using any ramdisk trickery at all. It's completely
stock.

The only real benefit to a read-only filesystem is immediate recovery
after power outage.

Re: [Soekris] Installing Debian Squeeze

2011-03-10 Thread Bryan Irvine
Something I've done from time to time is install to a virtualbox image, then
convert that image, and use dd to put the image into a flash card.  To me it
was easier than having to set up PXE.  Once made the image is always
available. and one dd to a flash disk and you're done.

just a thought.

I've done it a bunch of different ways with debian and OpenBSD. I've
booted from cd key, I've installed to HD on external machine, PXE
booted, and I even once copied a virtualbox image to a CF using the vB
convert tools to make it raw and dd to copy to CF.

[Soekris] Power savings

2009-03-03 Thread Bryan Irvine
I was thinking of getting one of these little guys in my house.  My
excuse? Power savings over the existing firewall.  I remember seeing
something a long time ago that compared the cost savings of a full
desktop firewall and a soekris, and basically the soekris pays for
itself within x amount of time.  I was wondering if anyone had a link
to power comparisons.

Google is not my friend today.

Re: [Soekris] net5501 doesn't boot from CF card

2008-10-15 Thread Bryan Irvine
We had the same problem.  We were using Kingston CF cards and switched
to Sandisk.  No problems since.  I guess the problem lies with the
card itself not doing something correctly.  Maybe someone else can
explain better.

[Soekris] net5501 error light stays on

2008-06-02 Thread Bryan Irvine
After setting my console to 38400 (and finding out that it might not support
that) when I boot the 5501 the errors light stays on.  I've connected to it
using a 28.8 speed but only get a single odd character that looks like a ?
in a box.

I've tried setting the speed back as documented but suspect it may be
suffering from issue 0005.

However when I short the pins it does not continue the bootup.and the error
light stays on.

It did come with another 5501 that suffers from the same issue but that one
does boot after shorting the pins, so it's likely to have come from the same
batch.

Is there anything else I can try?  Or do I just need to ship them back for
repairs?
