NT works just fine (a tad slow on the 486/100, but it works.) FreeBSD seems to WORK, it just spews lots of calcru: messages on the console. :) I acidentally toasted the BSD install on that drive (accidentally rm'd usr from / instead of /usr/obj/...oops :) so I will need to re-install. Perhaps it will fix itself, but I'm not holding my breath. The box is being K6ed shortly, so it doesn't really matter, but I might want to use it as a router or something.
