You can try the minimalistic kernel=20 +ramdisk from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~raj/misc/efika-kernel.gz - unzip and put onto your TFTP host server - execute from Efika SmartFirmware prompt: boot eth:<your_TFTP_host_IP>,efika-kernel,<your_efika_IP> E.g.: boot eth:10.0.0.204,efika-kernel,10.0.2.11 Rafal
