I flashed the BIOSes, but I think the key is getting the right release for these machines. 3.2 didn't seem to work, it was an Alpha version. These were manufactured in 1995. I have never installed FreeBSD successfully, but that is because I have the wrong versions. Anyone have a quick information fix (other than target practice ) ?
