[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1017333, member: 325666"] Indeed I booted Freenas from CF for many years .. As to Chameleon .. I can't believe I'm contemplating testing yet another motherboard ..but I am .. Dug out a KT4V mobo ..which posts ...but have yet to get it to boot from floppy.. grr. It's an MSI board circa 2002 ... and visually inspected to check for leaky caps .. Non found ..so started it up .. gobsmacked to find it was still keeping accurate time with the system clock.. This one allows booting from a variety of sources according to he manual (yes I still have it) advanced bios boot options include :- IDE 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 zip drive CD/DVD Legacy scsi Legacy Network USB floppy USB CD Rom USB HDD USB zip drive useful if it works.. But ..being an early MSI (shhhh) ...I cant use a pentium cpu.. but a VIA northbridge Southbridge chipset (KT400 /VT8235 AMD Athlon or Duron only Hopefully this mobo will allow me greater flexibility ..and recognises larger HDs [URL='https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/KT4V__KT4VL_v1.0.html#hero-overview']KT4V / KT4V-L (v1.0) | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI Global[/URL] has onboard LAN /Sound card Realtek ALC650 6 channel audio /basic AC97 AGP 8X/4X IDE UDMA 33/66/100/133 A lot of mobo at the time I think ...but it is an MSI (shhhh) [/QUOTE]
