My only concern is that one of the ethernets is bge and the other is nve which is not known to be that stable, and I need both ports... I suspect it will be ok, though. If push comes to shove I guess installing an intel NIC card would not be out of the question. The rest of the hardware seems to be supported based on chipsets I looked up from kernel boot messages from linux, openbsd, and netbsd posted on the web. curiously i never found a boot message from anyone running freebsd...
