I used to do that, before it was possible to boot from USB. There's
nothing wrong with it, excecpt that it requires a custom /etc/fstab.
Since the appearance of direct USB booting on the Pi3 eliminating
the microSD gets rid of one thing that can go wrong.

 
 
You shouldn't need to customise /etc/fstab with USB data discs as they
will be automatically mounted in /media unless you want them mounted
elsewhere.

It just dawned on me that I was writing about FreeBSD, not RasPiOS;
apologies for the confusion!

In the meantime, the Pi5 is up and running on a fresh install of Bookworm.
Impressively faster than the Pi4 running Bullseye.

At this point both machines are on the same 192.168.1.y network, but
they don't seem able to communicate at all, simply reporting
"no route to host" from either end. Ping fails, losing all packets.
It looks like sshd is running, based on ps output.

Both machines are connecting via DHCP, so the WAP is the default route
for both. Do I need to do something special to use sftp between them?

Thanks for reading!
