I'm using 386bsd on my 486 box (Tri-Star 486DX2-66 VL-Station with 16MB
RAM, 340MB HD and ATI Ultra VLB (it will be sold soon, anyway)) right now.
Since I don't have enough disk space and ATI Ultra isn't supported by
XFree86, I'm not running X11.  But it should work when I have my another
drive repared and get an S3 805 VL VGA card.
