I have an old Qualys Sensor Appliance II. Was gonna turn it into a pfsense firewall, but it’s reporting the CPU doesn’t support long mode (no 64bit architecture) which is why it’s out. OpenWRT has continued with 32bit support for longer, kinda its deal, so I’m thinking the box could become the core router for the openwrt mesh I’m building from scavenged tech. All their “boot disks” however are not booting. booo. booo.
oh this is a fun one (I’m trying lunbuntu on this for starters, then openwrt on top but may tweak it with an even smaller OS or just slack) - has to be a custom build. CPU doesn’t support 64 bit architecture but it has SATA…and a 3gb IDE hdd??

AHH ok. Balls to the no 64-bit support. That would be a nice little piece of kit to sit out of sight and handle this stuff.
My only OpenWRT experience was flashing it onto a Netgear wireless router once upon a time, and as I recall even that was a PITA. Good luck!!!
