I mean, I'll take it.. :-) I have the RB450 to finish porting, since it has an AR8327 in it. -a On 12 March 2014 16:49, Ben Perrault <ben.perrault@gmail.com> wrote: > All, > > So I have a MikroTik RB493G, and I while I've got no problems networking booting it or getting an NFS root, via a slightly modified AR71xx config and Adrian's excellent build scripts. > > But what I would like to do is get a bootable kernel / MFS image onto that box so it's self contained.

But I'm not entirely sure how to do this ( i've looked at the docs, and am still a little lost ). It was for a RB450, but it seems most things regarding the RB450/450G apply to the RB493G. > > So does anyone have an idea on how to do that?

It's AR8327 based, which I know just got support in head. I'm assuming adrian would be the person to talk to, but I could be wrong. Is there interest? It would be a neat box for soft switching stuff, for sure. > > cheers and thanks, > -bphome | help
