Hi @armfan. To answer some of your queries: this is embedded land, we do not boot from USB normally. Just grab an SD card, flash with "dd", insert and boot from that medium. With 7.0 I have successfully booted from SD - other boot methods may or may not work. To compile your own image with 7.1 cutting edge kernel follow the steps mentioned in the following posting in this thread, see "you are on your own..." HTH // Sven-Ola

That's default Debian behavior. Ubuntu includes sbin in PATH afaik. In any case Armbian does not alter this.

Ah, I think I know why I didn't 'find' it - trying to run the command as regular user didn't work since it's in /usr/sbin and this path has been removed from the $PATH of regular users. I need to be root in order to have it available. @Werner thank you again for the pointer.

Hi guys, I too have one of these paperweights I'd like to use for a real HA instance to have as a backup if my actual server takes a dump. I was hoping for root access as I'm not a novice when it comes to custom bootloader and roms on other devices but this is a whole different monster. Any tips would be appreciated.
