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.
