Loaded with no problem at all. After loading, I placed the drive and CD-ROM back into the target 486. Before booting, I disable _all_ hardware that I didn't have in the box. Kernel boots...swapon...fsck's filesystems...hangs. This just ain't gonna work in this box. I'd think it's plain vanilla: 486/66, 16M RAM (AMI BIOS...btw....at what point does FreeBSD stop using the BIOS?) -Robert rubin@sequel.com
