Hello List and Jos Jansen, if you mean it is a must be, to have, to boot from a SD / CF card and the PCIe slot is not in use (standard case) it will be perhaps a solution to install a CF card adapter shown in the link of the next line. The CF card will be accessible from the outside of the case and if you own a soekris 19" case it doesn't matter because you have also a second slot. The cost of the adapter is ~ 20,00 € <http://direkt.jacob-computer.de/_artnr_780606.html?ref=103>
If the cost is to high or the PCIe slot is in use perhaps also better to wait for the fixed bios with usb boot option, to use mini usb stick with 4 or 8 GB. I hope it will help you. ____________________ Kind regards and my best wishes Frank Schuhmann -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jansen Jos Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:35 PM To: Soren Kristensen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Soekris] net 6501: soft boot >USB boot is what I'm waiting for ;) My 6501/50 procured for evaluation runs >quite well off an Intel uSATA SSD (INTEL SSDMAESC020G2 2CV102M5) @ FreeBSD 8.2 >at the moment but these SSD are >currently way too expensive for deployment. >I regret that the 6501 doesn't have micro-SD or similar but I respect your >decisions regarding design and manufacture -- we've accumulated a fairly large >bin of Soekris to be scrapped for obsolescense but >none for hardware failure. __________ Hinweis von ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Signaturdatenbank-Version 6663 (20111127) __________ E-Mail wurde geprüft mit ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
