>1. where could I find BSDI Hardware Compatibility List.... (for 2.0 / 2.0.1)

see <URL:http://www.bsdi.com/> for the latest official hardware list.
see <URL:http://www.vix.com/pc-hw/> for my own personal leanings.

>2. which one is stable 2.0 or 2.0.1. (or which should I use ?)

2.0.1 is quite stable and it's also better than 2.0.

>3. does it come with any firewall proxy, since I will use it as gateway ?

that's too general a question.  TIS fwtk runs fine on BSD/OS (all versions.)
so does DECWRL Screend.  BSD/OS itself comes with some firewall-friendly apps
but they aren't shrinkwrapped -- you've got to know what you're doing.
