[Voyage-linux] soekris boot failure

[Wayne Lee]

1, Yes
2, Yes I did try chroot and it failed, Yes I had that too so I had to
re-install grub on the PC this morning.

It's all good, it works, Thanks for your time and advice,

keep up the excellent work on voyage.

What is the network performance like on the WRAP boards? The max I can get
through a Soekris is 40mb
