At least I now know that it is not related to the Alpine, but also happens on an EB64+, at least I assume you have an EB64+ It does annoy me.. > As a hackish workaround, type 'init' at the srm console before booting > if you've halted via ddb.

I get using ftp something like 250-300 kB/s, using NetBSD on the Alpine I get 800-900 kb/s (same server on the other side). NFS (client) performance also stinks. DE500 on 100mbit network does not seem to work at all. I will try that one with NetBSD also.
