Nope. I just thought that if you say "it's not possible in -stable", then it can be done in -current. > However, at some point in the future I do plan on making this possible. I'm glad to hear that, but my problem is that I have to do this now... :) BTW, can we plan on this? Could you say an approximate time window for this feature to be implemented? Next month, next year... What should be needed for this to work? Do you have the resources to write this? If it won't be in the near future can anybody say an alternative on which booting from ATA flashcards is possible? I did not find too much info regarding this issue. Is this better supported in other BSDs, like NetBSD?

Mine works perfectly with -current as of 0203 (Mark's snapshot on FreeBSD mirrors). The system is rather slow on this PC104 machine, but this is trivial (I've read UPDATING :), because this is a GENERIC kernel.
