[Soekris] Cold boot failures on Net5501?

[Bill Maas]

Hi Kevin,

I've been running DaneElec cards without a single problem as well on a
soekris net5501-70. Cheap, moderately fast and reliable it seems.
Still, I feel less "trust" in my net5501 than in my net4801, and I've
made the 5501 my backup web server i.o. the default one after one hang
too many.

Need to set up that watchdog feature, but I don't have time for that
right now, and besides I've never seen a 4801 hang with OBSD. Too bad
the net5501 had to be released in such a hurry..

Bill
