Hi,
I attempted to install 1.8.3 on my LT310 (Via C7, 512MB RAM) from CD, but a couple of problems:
1. The install fails to differentiate properly between cd0 and ad3 (my hdd) devices, saying (very quickly, before zipping off the top of the screen) that it cannot mount the 'CD'; it won't install.
2. SmallWall knocks out my windows server's DHCP (it backs off; it states another DHCP server is present on the network), even though the 'enable' is not ticked in the SmallWall's config GUI (I browsed to the SW's GUI, whilst it was running but not installed on the LT310s hdd).
So far, I've been unable to get the LT310 to boot from USB flash (as an alternative install method).

I am not familiar with the "LT30" so I hope I got the right thing here... www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/precedence/tcx3/index.shtmlSome of these Via boards are problematic to boot from USB. You can try booting from a Linux Live-CD or USB install, and use dd to image it. Or, pull the flash module and plug it in a real computer and burn it there. Unlike Windows, the install is not tied to thew hardware.

So far, I haven't used a flash module (I guess you mean CF); rather, I've used a HDD. I have an IDE-CF adaptor somewhere; maybe it's time to give that another try (ISTR previous attempts to create a bootable CF were unsuccessful for some reason).

I was meaning booting FreeBSD from USB. I have seen many systems that boot Linux LiveCDs fine, but can not boot FreeBSD or SmallWall. But the image can be burned from a different computer easily, and that may be your best option. Just hook the hard drive up to your desktop and use dd or Physdiskwrite to burn it, then put it back.
