I have a net6501, and updated the firmware to 1.41c. I have an mSATA SSD (bought from Soekris), which seems to be recogized. I am trying to boot off USB, and have tried
698G drive - hangs (apparent known issue) IDE USB adapator with 111G drive - not recognized by BIOS 8G thumbdrive - shows up, but booting pauses for a while and just says failed: 8G failure: 81: USB 01 Xlt -2-32 Mbyte > boot 81 No Boot device available, enter monitor. comBIOS Monitor. Press ? for help. It takes about 14s from 'boot 81' to the error. Presumably 80 is the (emtpy) mSATA drive. My flash drive contained: hand-constructed bootable image, with NetBSD mbr, ffvs1 with bootxx_ffsv1, and bits trom installcd filesystem and then just to make sure, I used ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.1/images/NetBSD-6.1-i386-install.img.gz written uncompressed instead. Same behavior. I am using the Soekris-provided 3A power supply. I will keep trying, and probably also try PXE booting. Does the boot-from-USB bios code have any particular requirements? _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
