I assume that a read-only mounted CF is more reliable than a HD, so booting from CF would make it more reliable. I have a similar setup, with NanoBSD (and a few packages) installed on the CF and data directories mounted from HD (read-write). If^WWhen the HD fails I want to be able to replace the HD, and maybe restore some data from backup; but I will not have to reinstall and configure the whole OS. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
