My 2100A is dead (no picture, no sound) right now, so I can't verify that any of the current releases will still boot. There was an issue with the bootloader writing to a disk that had VMS loaded. I disklabled the disk in another computer and then FreeBSD 4.11 wrote to the disk and booted afterward. I never could get any of the 5.x CD's to do anything. My 2100A died before 6.0 was released.
