Collins) Subject: FreeBSD and flash disk Message-ID: <DMCCtA.9B5@un.seqeb.gov.au> Organization: SEQEB X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 06:31:55 GMT Lines: 14 Has anyone had any experience running FreeBSD-2.1.0 out of a flash ram type disk drive. These flash ram devices are found on some embedded processor boards and are supported by BIOS. What I want to do is build a MFS in kernel type filesystem and run it off an embedded PC as an industrial type controller. No moving parts and so it should be fairly reliable. Anyone have any clues. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Collins - Communications Design Officer email : pc012@seqeb.gov.au South East Queensland Electricity Corporation phone : +61 7 3407 5237 2 Bowen Bridge Rd, Fortitude Valley, 4006 fax : +61 7 3407 5059 Queensland, AUSTRALIA (Best State, Best Country) Viva el Cristo Rey ! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
