This seems like a good opportunity to get some testing done. BTW, we run FreeBSD on a box with some of the same features, IBM PC Server 325. They have the same onboard Fast/Wide Adaptec controller, the same onboard AMD 100mb Ethernet, memory architecture, etc. FreeBSD 3.1 works great on these systems. We have had no problem adding additional Ethernet cards. regards, fletcher To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
