Thanks for the feedback on that. I had no idea if that image would work for other Soekris hardware or not, and couldn't test it (without spending money, that is!). And now I'm wondering -- where does it freeze? Do you get the "ready" prompt, then a freeze? Or just the "loading initrd.gz" and a freeze? The reason I'm asking is because it may not be a console speed issue at all. It's possible it could be a hardware issue with initrd and the system net4521.
