Re: Can't get net4501 to boot from CF

I would put a vote in for trying OpenBSD on that box (what I run). Lots of
Linux distributions are dropping support for i486 cpus so you have to do
some research on that.
The last time I tried Freebsd (netboot not image writing) it didn't manage
to work correctly and I couldn't get it installed.
How were you managing to get USB booting on the 4501 as afaik it doesn't
have built in ports?
