Previously used Sandisk Extreme III 8G and 16G CF cards work fine. The cards are new UDMA cards, which may or may not have something to do with this. The symptoms are similar to what you see when you try to use bad IDE-CF adapter, which does not have DMA pins wired, but this hardware should be ok. Linux works and says and card is UDMA33. The performance and CPU usage seems what one would expect from UDMA33 device. On Sandisk cards, I get DMA with FreeBSD but only WDMA2 (I do not know if they support more). The hardware is DMP eBOX 4300 or DMA-enabled CF-2.5" converter from pcengines.ch. Anyone seen this? I can arrange the hardware for testing, preferable in Finland, if anyone wants to look at it?

I've got a Soekris box and I've used NanoBSD to get FreeBSD 7 on it. No problems so far - NanoBSD is great :-) But I'm wondering what the best way to do cron jobs is? I could store the per-user crontabs in /conf so they go in to the /var ramdisk, but I'd have to rebuild the image to change them. What I need is something like /cfg but for /var. I suppose the easiest solution is to write an rc script that sets the cron entries up on boot? Or use the global /etc/crontab file instead? Any other solutions?

Or use the global /etc/crontab file instead? If your your NanoBSD does not really serve several human "non-root" users, just use global /etc/crontab and be happy :-) OTOH, I sometimes use a software looking to /var with NanoBSD, so I just place symlinks into initial /var contents that /etc/rc.diskless uses to populate /var at boot time. And these symlinks point to /etc that is preserved in /cfg. Eugene Grosbein
