I will be getting a HP Vectra XM 5/120 at work. Windows 95 claims
the following:

Display: Cirrus Logic PCI

Network: AMD PCNET family Ethernet Adapter (PCI&ISA)

and 
CMD PCI-0640 PCI to EDI Controller

I could not find support for the Network card in the source, nor am I 
sure that the display card is supported by XF86.

Does anybody have more information on whther I can use this system to run
FreeBSD 2.1R ?

Thanks
