I have a project that would prefer : to buy hardware that is known to work with a BSD OS "as-is". Yes. At Timing Solutions, we've run them on 4 or 5 different boards. Two from Axiom, one from Teknor, one frmo adastra and one from megatel. So far we've not hit one that won't work. I've also run them on Advantec for a consulting client. : We would probably want the system to use an M-systems flash memory device : (e.g. the FreeBSD device "fla" in /sys/contrib/dev/fla). As long as you get good parts, fla works great. There was a while a time ago when they had a lot of bad parts in the channels. This has been corrected. We went with using compact flash in an IDE adapter because that was a little cheaper, the parts were more widely available and we had been given, at the time, 9 month lead times on the doc2k parts.
