Jim,

I know there is not a huge reason to use amd64 on it (net6501), but I'd like to use just amd64 SW
on all my machines, and apart from this soekris and a net5501, all my routers run amd64 pfsense :)

by the way, if I edit the usb where the memstick img was dd'ed, will it work ? (see the changes
for serial console on FreeBSD Handbook)

thanks,

matheus
