Exactly.  With _identical_ hardware.  So if the hardware ran under the
other OS, but not under this OS, where do you look first for the
problem?

If your car runs perfectly for years with one brand of oil, and then you
change brands and the engine seizes, where do you look for the source of
the problem?

I'm just pointing out the unavoidable implication of what you said.  NT
ran on this hardware for eight years without a hitch; FreeBSD cannot do
the same.  It's not the hardware.

UNIX is twenty years older than NT.

I wanted to try FreeBSD.

Is that what you tell people who have trouble getting FreeBSD to work?
"Reinstall your old OS"?
