I'm using a 486 DX2 66Mhz as a NAT gateway, and it's working very well with FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE (I'm lacking disk space to upgrade to 3.5-STABLE). But I had problems like Chris when installing it on another motherboard (the IDE controller was not part of the motherboard). Maybe that's an IDE controller problem ... If you can, try to install it on another motherboard. Hope this helped.
