[Soekris] 5501 USB2 External Hard Disk support under FreeBSD

[Martin Johnson]

Hi

Has anyone had a chance of test the stability of external USB2 hard  
disks attached to the 5501's USB port?  Preferably under FreeBSD.

If I recall correctly, you can't boot from a USB hard disk because the  
BIOS doesn't support it.  But if I boot from some other device, is  
there any reason why I can't use a big Lacie USB disk for bulk storage?

Thanks!
