Hmm.  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.

Later......						<Doug>
