This, right? http://www.globalscaletechnologies.c...reamplugs.aspx

I guess you'd install through a USB flash drive. It's probably using an x86 processor, so you'd use this image: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/re...6-memstick.img

Then, in a Linux distro, PC-BSD or FreeBSD, use this command (changing the paths as needed): dd if=FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync

That's how I'd go about it, anyway.

If it's the device Cobalt mentioned...

...taken from http://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/kirkwood/ and specifically the http://www.marvell.com/embedded-proc...1-004_ver1.pdf

"The Marvell® 88F6281 SoC with Sheeva™ embedded CPU technology, is a high-performance integrated controller. It
integrates the Marvell Sheeva CPU core which is fully ARMv5TE-compliant with a 256KB L2 Cache"

So it has an Arm Processor.
