Did it for years without any issues on NetBSD 6 right up to the point where I replaced that machine with something a little faster (it was my firewall and it was struggling to keep up with my DSL link at full speed :( ).Hi all, I'm thinking of running NetBSD on a Soekris net4801. It has 128 MB RAM and 1 GB CF card. Does anybody have experience running NetBSD on these machines? Do I need a custom kernel for the AMD Geode CPU on the machines? Is there a good way to reduce wear (for example swap use) to increase the CF card's life? Thanks, udon
No custom kernel required. Geode works out of the box on NetBSD 6. Can't remember if I ever got as far as NetBSD 7 before I replaced it.
Only tricks I really did to reduce CF wear was to mount the filesystems noatime. Other than that I treated it entirely normally.
