It could well be that the issue is related to the 4801 (I > remember there being a general issue larger drives - but that was a > while ago, I don't know if current revisions of the BIOS took care of > that).
I don't think it's an issue with Soekris 4801, because I ran into the same pb with an Alix box (using the ancient pxe boot utility). Using a boot partition with 512MB solved issue - and 512MB on a CF was about ten times the space I needed to install all packages, therefor I didn't investigate further. Still looking foward how to make use of the remaining 3GB :) kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
