Hmmm. Maybe I should retract that. I cannot find an i386 install CD that won't boot on it. I've tried 7.0-BETA1, 6.2-STABLEsnap200708, 6.2-RC1, 6.1-RELEASE, 6.0-BETA2, 6.0-BETA1, 5.3-RC1 (hangs probing ATA1), 4.5-RELEASE, and 4.3-RELEASE. But I thought I remembered being unable to boot some i386 install CDs in it. - Bob
