Hey, there!
I'm using a P2B (single CPU board) in this machine and FreeBSD installs and
runs just fine. I haven't tried it with a P2B-D or P2B-DS, though I have a
P2B-DS sitting around here somewhere.

I really don't think this is a supported configuration on that board. I
seem to recall trying this just to see if it would work and the system
simply wouldn't power up, but I might be thinking of another system...
Best of luck with it. Incidentally, most - but not all - revisions of that
board won't support Coppermine CPU's, so don't plan on putting anything
faster than a 600MHz CPU in it, regardless of the stepping. I got burned by
this one personally. :)
