Greetings,

  I have installed FBSD 3.1-Release on IBM Netfinity, 
  and since then upgrade to FBSD 3.2-Release in May,
  and if everything goes smoothly, go to FBSD 3.3-R
  in November. ( Customer's Server, don't want to be
  too progressive ;) )

  Anyway, for me, the on-board SCSI didn't work.
  I actually used a Adaptec 2940.  The onboard 
  Ethernet card works, using the lnc driver.  I 
  heard its flaky, but work okay so far.  Never had
  problem, well none that I know of.

  BTW, mine is single CPU.

  Oh, I have a problem with rebooting.  It doesn't work.
  It will shutdown, but doesn't reboot.  Someone has 
  to manually off-wait-on the machine.  Though luck for
  me since I am administering it off-site.  Reboot is
  not an option for me. :(
