I've personally booted NetBSD on a Pentium box (the only one I've ever touched). It seemed to work fine. Likewise, does either one run with PCI cards? I would like to get a PCI SCSI card (maybe the Bustek 946C). The 946c should run fine as is with the `bt' driver (or so I've heard). I'm working on getting some PCI-specific code into NetBSD, but I can't estimate when this will be done. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sun4c, mac68k, pc532, da30.
