I have tried running 3.0 on an IBM Thinkpad 770.
We had to go out and buy a 3com 3C589 ethernet card because the
IBM card we already had turned out to be unsupported by FreeBSD.
We also had a little difficulty with X.  The screen tends to Flash
frequently/intermittently.  We didn't figure out why.  The extent
and perhaps frequency of the flash seemed to be greater when we
ran 16 bpp.

Other than that, everything seemed to run just fine.
