I would strongly agree with this, having learned the hard way with our own
line of servers.

Using Chris Capuccio's EXCELLENT docs, I've just built and installed 
OpenBSD on a 4501. I've added the latest IPfilter to the mix and am 
now planning to run a comparison between IPfilter and pf, having all
on a CF makes this very easy. I am using 128MB Sandisk CF's, works
well so far, up two days :-) On the IDE/ CF adapter side, I found a
very good one at www.mesanet.com Kit Chang, the owner of MesaNet, has
adpaters that work with both 40 and 44pin IDE drives and with/without
power as well. He also has a dual CF adapter.

Next, gotta get some wireless cards and build my 4521!
