I have an 80186 with NO hard disk and a 16 line liquid crystal screen
that doesn't do graphics, 256K memory + 256K memory in the expansion
box which has *TWO* 5.25" floppies. It doesn't have a turbo switch!
It has a "speadsheet" program on a plug in EPROM.

But of course it can't run FreeBSD terribly well. In fact, not at all
really. 8-) Hell, it couldn't even run DOS very well at V1.1

Exactly which bit of FreeBSD do you put on that 40M disk?
