Has anyone gotten FreeBSD-1.0-GAMMA to install on a Gateway 2000 486/66
VLB machine?  I downloaded the installation disks (just to try it out),
but it dies when asking if I want to proceed with the installation
(after mounting the filesystem.fs floppy).  NetBSD does work on the
machine, but since it is going to be running slip and doesn't have a
16550 card I wanted to use the SIO drivers.

Any ideas?  Patches to allow NetBSD to use SIO drivers would work just
as well, as I can build a kernel on my machine to install on this one.
