Hi George two years ago i installed FreeBSD on my net-5501. Ever since the box has been running rock-solid and without any issues. :) But i also had my issues installing FreeBSD for the first time. Using the steps which are described at http://wiki.soekris.info/More_on_VirtualBox i was able to succeed. I followed the procedure which is overwritten with: *3. VirtualBox VM setup* As i used VirtualBox on Windows the steps had to be modified slightly but along those lines i was able to install FreeBSD on the SD-Card directly. You should definitely give this a try. all the best Chris On 26.09.2016 22:46, George wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am trying to install from an i386 img file on a USB stick to a > Soekris Net6501 and I keep having problems. > > 10.3: Says that the base package checksum is wrong and I need to > re-download it and try again. > > 10.2: Says installation aborted and lets me try again or exit. > > 11.0: Is just not working gets stuck somewhere once the boot starts. > > The machine has a dual Intel Atom 6xx 1000 MHz and 4 nics.
