> ...has anyone every tried FreeBSD on an IBM 704 Pentium-Pro server? Yes. Wcarchive, home of the FreeBSD distributions is essentially a single- processor version of the 704. I have a two-processor system in my office, and 2.1.5 runs fine on it (but see below). > just from looking at the specs I'd think it would work, 4 way P-Pro, > Adaptech PCI SCSI, etc... I haven't tried the SMP stuff yet, so I have no idea whether or how well it works. Also, the two(!) onboard Adaptec controllers need an unsupported kernel patch for FreeBSD to be able to find the controllers. I can give you a boot floppy image and the patch source when you need it. --Gary Hanson
