As openbsd user on soekris systems base install works as you expect from the openbsd developers, GREAT! > > second, I have no idea how to boot a Soekris box from install media. There > is no floppy, no CD... how do I acomplish this? The soekris does network boot, pxe install is simple to setup. After the pxe just load the bsd.rd file and the install env is running. Running memory filesystems could be for things like /var/run /var/log etc link /tmp to /var/tmp. But for the rest it is not really needed. I think. Regards Robert
