I had it netbooting and getting to multiuser mode with decent device support, though no RTC iirc... The problem I had was that I discovered an ethernet frame (that may be specific to my network) that would never be transmitted... I talked to TS and tried to file a support request w/ Cirrus Logic on the issue, but got no where trying to figure out why a DNS packet wouldn't transmit... I could boot multiuser over nfs after aborting sendmail's DNS query... see: http://people.freebsd.org/~jmg/dmesg.ts7200 Though it hasn't been integrated w/ the recent work that's happened on arm in the last couple years... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
