Yes, absolutely, I forgot these newer models where fanless.
I currently have only a X7SLA-H.

I would like to know if you are aware of any faster alternative
to the Soekris.
For me, the Soekris have the following characteristics:
- multiple network interfaces (up to four, plus one PCI slot),
- small,
- low power,
- f

You means creating a NVRAM partition?
That could be another option.
In this case, the "nvram" variable will be:
nvram=#S/sdC1/nvram

I use a NVRAM on the CompactFlash on my Soekris net5501.
I created a FAT partition on the CompactFlash holding the file "plan9.nvr",
then I added the following lines to my CPU server plan9.ini.
nvram=#S/sdC1/dos!plan
