Is anybody still using the IXP425 systems on FreeBSD? Do you expect to run FreeBSD 12 on them? I'm asking because it seems support for them is dangerously decayed and likely wouldn't work. These are old systems, EOLd back in 2009. There's issues with the boot loader, and it's unclear if a kernel for these boards would still work (the boards have only 64MB of RAM, which puts them at the extreme low end of what can run FreeBSD without expert tuning of the kernel). A couple of years ago, I know we had one user, but I'm not sure that he's still using the board. The niche market for these boards was wifi, but the standard have evolved since then and there's no relevant hardware available for an upgrade. Warner
