I can easily add 4-20GB to the machine.  Once it is running FreeBSD, I will
port the DPT driver and have even more space.

The purpose of this excercise is to have a platform for writing the 64bit
drivers for the new FCAL controllers.  They are also all i2o but we will
not start that argument, right? :-)

Thanx,  I am still puzzled by the make failure, but if having FreeBSD tools
will solve it, then I do not have a problem.
