Wim,
It's possible I was running 1.32i, but I have since discarded my notes
on the BIOS upgrade so I can't give you a straight answer, sorry! Are
there any work-arounds for FreeBSD-70 systems in the interim until a
BIOS fix is released? Since the box will hang after losing power, this

this is a welknown bug in the BIOS
What was your previous version where it did work? 1.32i?

After several months of not using my NET5501, I upgraded the BIOS to
1.33c in preparation of installing FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Using PXE, I
installed to a Hard Drive (ATA i/f) that previously ran FreeBSD 6.2 in
the 5501.
The install worked fine, however, after doing a cold restart, I noticed

Hello,
I have more information on the Soekris 5501 boot problem
using a Transcend TS4GCF266 CF.
I purchased a cheap SYBA IDE2UCF1 ide to compact flash adapter.
I installed my Transcend TS4GCF266 CF into and put in a system with
a pc with about a 5 year old mother board. The CF was recognize with
After some testing I found out that Sandisk Ultra II 2GB Flash worked
perfect. In my old installations I used a smaller Sandisk that also
worked. Kingston flashcards are no good then.

Hello,
Well I tried 1.33c on my 5501 with my Transcend TS4GCF266 CF and it made things
worst. I was unable to get FreeBSD to boot - it always hangs at mountroot
saying it
can't find the root device.
When the 5501 is cold booted I get about a 10-15 sec pause before it recognizes
the CF device

Hi!
Yes, I thought of that also, but I have used the same image on several
net5501 that is working just fine, so why not these? Also, if it was a
disk geometry problem - why would it work after a "warm reboot", but not
a "cold" one?
For me, it seems like either some problem with the net5501 its
Hi Eternity,
In addition to everything proposed so far: take a look at "disk geometry
issues" on the Soekris Wiki. Those may also cause problems with GRUB.
If that is the problem, just boot with Lilo or Syslinux (which is the
smallest boot loader for Linux I think, an at least the easiest to

Don't use Grub. It is way too beefy for what you need. Use syslinux!
It's much simpler, and easier. Additionally, it is far more mature than
the grub project.

Hi!
I have a problem with a whole bunch of NET5501:s. I have read some posts
with similar problems, but not exactly this, I think, so I post my
