Absolutely. This is a different chipset than the 755/760/701 and 350/360
series. It's a chips & techologies video set. I don't know about the
keyboard controller. Seems pretty standard. Uses a Phoenix 1.03 bios
rev with a Cyrix (according to FreeBSD's probe) 486DLC (I think it was a
DLC).
Consider the 365 a FreeBSD success story -- Linux can't seem to handle it.
Step 1. Rawrite floppy.
Step 2. Copy dists/bin to /FreeBSD/bin on the dos partition.
Step 3. Boot.
Step 4. Install minimum 2.05 system.
Step 5. Add the wdc atapi support from /incoming.
Step 6. Build new kernel (still working on getting this working with APM
psm -- however WCD support works now...)
Step 7. Still working on getting X11 up.
