The only hope now are the newier mini-itx boards that use the atom chipset. I would like a firewall that's more ROHO than SOHO and fairly robust, but in a small form factor.
Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations, I simply use old workstations.

So basically a BIOS problem?
I do hope you meant OpenBSD+pf, the last release of OpenBSD using ipf was 2.9 I believe.

And yes, it uses an incompatible firmware.. it can't run traditional x86 operating systems, there are likely other architectural changes that are undocumented as well.
