I'd be happy to help :-). I have access to a CS20 or two at work. I see no problem in BSD supporting the CS20. Tru64 see's it as a ES40 with only two processors (same southbridge). So if FreeBSD supports the ES40 you're pretty much there. The onboard scsi is a sym 53c8000 and it has UDMA 66 onboard. Besides that it has advanced I2C support and dual intel 10/100 ethernet. I'll try and install FreeBSD (sometime this week) and let you know what I find. I don't have much time on these things since they're currently being used for other more important purposes. I'll see what I can do. If you dont hear back from me in a week, please email me. Here's a dump from /proc/cpuinfo for the curious, I'm not sure if the system variation is correct. This IS an engineering prototype mind you.
