Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just got FreeBSD 2.2.1 on CDrom. It doesn't work on my PS/1 but I was planning on buying a new pc anyway. Is anybody currently running FreeBSD on a Tyan Tomcat III dual processor motherboard (with one cpu installed) ? Since there is now a FreeBSD beta release for multi processors I thought that getting a dual CPU board would be a good choice for future upgrades. Any reasons not to do this ? What motherboard would be best if the Tyan isn't a good choice ? My current REAVEAL CDrom on a soundblaster 16 card (IDE) is not recognized by the installation floppy. what can I do ? Will I have to get a new cdrom ? If I need a new cdrom, Which one ? What would be a good (if possible cheap) SCSI controller/cdrom conbination ? Any reason why I should not use a Cyrix 200 CPU ? What else if not, AMD, Intel ? Anything about the AMD K6 yet ? Thank you very much, any hardware suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Gil.
