It's possible to run FreeBSD on a machine like that (in fact, I intend to start doing so on a very similar machine today), but only as a diskless workstation. FreeBSD needs a disk *somewhere*. If this is all you have, you can't run FreeBSD on it. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
