Actually, the DIMM slot is keyed to only allow 3.3v unbuffered DIMMs (pulled out the manual), so that's not an issue. I still expect full well that if I put a real floppy in the machine instead of the LS-120, it'll boot CDROM just fine in all likelihood. I don't think the K7V bios and Adaptec's means of making CDROMs boot by overriding the bios A: drive assignment are getting along with the LS-120. Why the FreeBSD boot floppy won't boot, I haven't a clue. That should work no matter whether I have 1.44M floppy or LS-120 I would think.
