Will the FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 install on my machine and be able to
run Xwindows at home with :
   A 486-DX2 66mhz mother board 
       w/ Award 486PCI Bios, Flash EPROM
   ATI WinTurbo - Mach64 PCI Video card
   Mitsumi FX001d CD-ROM
   NCR SCSI-2 3805-0A controller
        w/ 1GIG SCSI-2 HD
   Enhanced MIO board(ISA)
        w/ 2 serial UART 16550 connections Brand unknown

I've heard rummers of blowing the BIOS and the lack
of Drivers.  But I really want UNIX at home.
