The kernel recognised the ATA controller and after that the ATA flash card. This was when I started the installation from floppies, so I could install directly to the flash. After the installation the machine successfully came up. It works like a charm. BTW, the write performance of the flash is slower than FreeBSD (both -current and -stable), because with FreeBSD I could do about 700 kB/s, with NetBSD I can do only 148 kB/s. The speeds when the machine reads from the card are mostly the same in both OSes. Warner, could you please take a look on NetBSD when your time permits? It would be a great advantage if FreeBSD could be so easy to install on this machine too. Thanks a lot! --------[ Free Software ISOs - ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/ ]------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415 (194) cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
