That might answer a question I had but I'm not sure. I've got a Cyrix
P166+ with 24mb ram and a Mystique with 4mb. I installed FreeBSD and now
when the bootmanager comes up and I choose BSD it starts to load and
then reboots. Is this because of my Mystique? 

Also, is it possible to run FreeBSD in lower video mode with the
Mystique instead? Howabout without the windowing system? 

Do you have any information about when the patch might be available?


Thanks, esc
