The Ultra-20 contains just an ordinary Tyan Tomcat K8E (S2865) mainboard with some components stripped off (just like the X2100 server BTW). I see no reason why it shouldn't run FreeBSD. The following components from a normal S2865 are missing on the U-20: - no PS/2 mouse/keyboard ports - USB should work though - no serial port - no bge ethernet, only nve The last one should be really annoying since the nve driver on FreeBSD is still quite buggy.
