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. >Also, if the processors were of a different stepping, would it matter? 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. :) Matt -- Matt Penna mdp1261@rit.edu ICQ: 399825 S0ba on AOLIM "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots." -Dr. Who To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
