So I’ve got my RaQ 2+ almost to the point where I can boot it from harddrive. While this may not sound like alot but if you keep in mind that this is my FIRST Gentoo install and a pretty strange one at that, then this is pretty impressive.

Of course the kernel compile is taking seemingly forever. Hopefully tomorrow night I can finish emerging the base packages I’ll need for the router and reboot it into a full blown Gentoo environment to finish up configuring the system.

If all goes well, I’ll have a sexy 1U router that will be my IP-NAT gateway, IPv6 tunnel endpoint and VPN tunnel endpoint.

Not bad for a scrawny 250MHz MIPS processor, eh?

Of course, a notice will be posted when the unit makes the switch over due to the downtime required.
