The Compaq Proliant 4500 we have just gotten runs NT,
SCO, UnixWare, OS/2, etc., but can it run BSDI 2.1?

It is an EISA bus 133 MHz Pentium with 64MB of RAM.  It
has a SCSI controller on the motherboard (to which 
an internal CDROM and an external 2 GB SCSI drive are 
attached) and a fancy SCSI controller to support things 
like hot pluggable 4.2 GB internal drives (of which 
there are two).

We would hope that at least the vanilla SCSI controller
is supported!
