A few years ago I tried getting freebsd onto a mips64 (octeon) device (it's an edgerouter lite 3) but failed. I found it was supported more completely on OpenBSD and installation was relatively straightforward, and the instructions are very thorough. On OpenBSD it's supported so well it'll do binary upgrades. Regarding "old" hardware: this device really isn't "old". I think I got it about 5 years ago. It's had OpenBSD running on it for the past 3-4 years or so and it is *so stable* I'm very happy with it. --=20 J. --uLCwe7hS9j4NPytn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAmFTH+IACgkQs8o7QhFz NAU22w/8Dbjmx2YnDb3Gw0fv0Z0NfjItZhSV9/d/ccM6tBBedXZCzSNFDfqdhpVv qhuK11uaoTqH3gWk8NrObobjgYuzWIu3wGMmNzCGpFhbjWEQ6Qxv/DX1S7v5BMbh 0StBBmWfmtivcq2NsUJ0nsyQRPlELxHR1k+ZeJOvUCF4AdiiVEaRPre2roMVeyG8 6Pn2r6ICZf5vf8ehrWjvcwQp8mHdKWvHU5H+27wejKqAj4Fo9lARyIAfnLACOEwv LMEP5oYGXBrrUsKqdbgb2LQC4yqL0oUoBxVFNiMNMqjHPtSlRIYzNlj9nLdn7De7 SCWL82w6sOzfIowKz7UmiQXfRv73QqQIJCHiV+XFFgFVVn8RVd/MiOcAZodPO1LX rh1P/eIwWtBQf0sdusv1Wdb+LvVT2oORjMP1wYhdTnx7Hf0TomT3MwDGfPTjTMPE lwWDgNdxgnk9w4AEJNLgYkimF4FEIkmSoJG6XV7H8mtAo4v4/jsIe6F0g8u2MZdW ixC0kmGpbxZgLnh1tWy5DQYPxpVPQf8nV+njnz2MuoVSL5h8yLo5aj9w4lpgqvsN ljORiI+8bIfU4+aXFKwGbdqEItgk18PwcUOX+V9rLETFnKWXZDL4f0uAgGGdE9Tb dfBqT1R2k9to6nKM9oKsIUXSy3P58f4rditJ/3ko1NQ8T2I1q+Y= =avkB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uLCwe7hS9j4NPytn--
