I use a Soekris Net5501 (amd Geode and cs5536 chip) too since FreeBSD 6.X and I did not notice any problem with an usb disk (myne is a 160 go disk). It is my home "all-in-one box" doing backup and NAS (some times I make a backup on a usb drive) I follow the Soekris mailing list and I do not remembered anymone complaining about usb disk problems too.
