I would be using the same NIC's and no extra peripherals. Everything that I can think of like the harddrive controllers and Serial ports,etc.. use rather standard IRQ's etc so I was wondering if anyone has had any success in an "operation" like this or knew any reason that I am overlooking that it will not work. (i.e. Win95 seems to be able to find lots of things to complain about if you do this sort of thing, but FreeBSD "appears" to me to be more generic and perhaps forgiving...) Any advice is welcome.
