Installation

After gunzipping and dding the image to a USB disk, I attempted to boot on an older computer.  Instead of anything useful, I get "Not ufs." and then a failed boot.  The same USB disk boots just fine on a newer computer.  Any suggestions?

Replying to myself with an aside; booting with the CD works on all of my computers.  Unfortunately, no matter what computer I use, with 7 different NICs, with chipsets from at least Intel, MPX, and Linksys, not a single link was detected (pressing 1, then 'a').  Am I missing something obvious here, or is the availability of NIC support just less than I imagined?

I never use the automatic mode.  I just assign the first (top) NIC to the LAN and the second one to the WAN.

BTW, Intel Pro 100 NICs seem to work the best.

Thank you, that works much better for me.

Anybody have any thoughts on the booting-from-USB issue?  I'd really like to avoid buying a  hard drive for this machine, but I want to save my settings somewhere persistent.

Right, I know I could do a solid state hard drive, but I'm really looking for any pointers on getting the USB solution working; what could be making the bootloader think the file system is not UFS?

Can't help you with the USB drive as never use them.  They just don't make good sense from a security standpoint and the Transcend drives are very reliable and affordable.

Good Luck,
