What about with the Ultrastor {14,34}F? I'm planning on getting
a machine to run FreeBSD, but I'd like to be sure I'm not going to
run into any problems. I'll only be getting 16MB to start, but I
will want to have my options open for future expansion. Does anyone
maintain a list of {386,Net,Free}BSD compatible hardware?
