As in I’ve had to slow down the DMA rate or even force PIO mode to get them to boot. I thought that those issue went away and I don’t remember ever seeing them on a Soekris. A cursory Google search points to this: https://seifried.org/oag/common-errors/boot-errors.html Which again suggests that a problem reading the /etc/boot.conf file because it’s not reachable by the BIOS. I don’t think that’s it though because the box wouldn’t have booted at all unless you changed boot.conf after and that caused it to be stored higher than the 1024 cylinder boundary.
