|Where is there more info about your cluster ?

Since I'm far from done with it, no info is available

Preliminary info is as follows: 

24 P-II 350's, 64 MB RAM, 3.0 GB IDE Fujitsu (eeeeeewwww UGH!) HDs.
Pro 100+ NICs in all of them
FreeBSD 3.1-stable with LAM 6.2B/MPICH/PVM port in the 3.1
distribution. Custom kernel (removing what we don't need). All of this
talks to each other across a 10/100 autosensing Cabletron switch.

So far, I'm working on a way to setup one node and use a boot disk
that uses bootp/NFS to come up and replicate the already setup
machine. 

I do have instructions how to make a bootable floppy for FreeBSD that
can do those. My hang up right now is how to properly DISKLABEL and
NEWFS the local node's HD. 

Of those 24 machines, the plan is to have 16/18 of them in a permanent
cluster config, the rest for students to mess up, and even install
Linux (where Beowulf is designed for in the first) if they want to -
for some head-to-head runs.
