>  - will run FreeBSD without too much trouble?

  As mentioned, I believe so. The CDROM isn't being detected: I have a 
mini on order so I can work this one out, and also get Xorg running.

>  - can netboot FreeBSD?

  Yes - see step 2a of the old install instructions at 
http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html.

  If /etc/fstab is set up correctly, there's no need to boot single-user 
- the system will come up just fine.

later,

Peter.
