Well, I'm not sure if this qualifies as 'using' but yes, we have a couple
of days ago installed FreeBSD on Zappa-based machine (P100, AHA2940,
Diamond SE). Installation was from the CD-ROM (ATAPI Panasonic CR-572B on
first on-board EIDE channel). We have not yet put it to real work test,
though (it is supposed to be our department's I-net server).
The only problem we anticipate is the number of slots available (3 ISA,
2 PCI and 1 PCI/ISA). We have 3 subnets and the uplink, so it fills the
board completely. (I heard Endeavor MBs have 4 PCI slots). Also, there are
multiport Ethernet cards (BTW, which of them - if any - work w/FreeBSD?)
