I`ve installed FreeBSD 3.4 Release and FreeBSD 4.0 Release on the Intel OR840 (Outrigger) motherboard without any problems (except for not recognizing the keyboard, did the -Dh on boot prompt -> OK). Configuration: OR840 MB / 256MB RAMBUS memory / 4 UFW SCSI disks / Adaptec 2940U2W / Creative GeForce256 / Tandberg SLR5 streamer / Pioneer SCSI DVD rom / Yamaha CD R / 2 x 800/133MHz Pentium III`s / integrated Intel Pro100+ nic (fxp). Built and installed a SMP kernel on both FreeBSD versions. It runs like a charm, doing simulations (floating point intensive), with periodically heavy interactive use. I can run the mptable on this system, if you`ll find it usefull (I have this machine @home, so ... :)) All in all, an extremely nice system, both HW and OS! --Stein Morten -- /* Stein M Sandbech Email: stein@ife.no ** ** Senior Systems Engineer, EDP dept Email: stein@www.ife.no ** ** Institute for Energy Technology Tel: +47 63 80 60 00 ** ** Box 40, N-2007 Kjeller, NORWAY Fax: +47 63 81 11 68 */ [-- Attachment #2 --] <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> FYI. <p>Mike Smith wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE>Just as a general "heads up", I'm having problems with SMP on an <br>i840-based board at the moment.
