Installing OpenBSD 4.8 on a Soekris 5501
I tried to do the install via a direct install to the CF via a USB media reader on my laptop, that gave me the runaround for a bit, turns out most USB style CF card readers work but I managed to find one that does not.

Connecting to my Soekris 5501
First I would recommend snuggling up with your Soekris manual by the fire and getting out your corn cob pipe. Setting up console access.

Bash hates people who use spaces
Ok so I have lots of files… I can’t be responsible for keeping weird characters and spaces out of all of them can I?
So what is a space using loser like me to do, well after penance, jump through hoops to make it work.
So naively expecting this to work, instead I get this crap.
sgw@terd /store/ebooks/pdfs $ for i in `ls ../*.rar`; do echo "$i"; done ../PDF Ebook Guide BSD Hacks 100 .

Testing performance of NFS
Tuning NFS performance really requires that a set of performance baselines to tell if you are doing any good, so that is really where this needs to start.

Using RAID in OpenBSD
Well anyone who is worth their oats is running raid right?
I guess that depends on your definition of anyone, what a bunch of nub sauces. Ok so it’s my first real attempt at doing it, I only have two disks and most of my media however much I may not think so right now is disposable.
Compile a new kernel since Theo leaves raid out by default:
$ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/ $ cat /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.
