I've just received my laptop, a Winbook XP5 with a New Media "Bus Toaster" 
SCSI card (PCMCIA) and a New Media Ethernet card.  My question is if I have 
problems, has anyone been able to successfully get FreeBSD to install on this 
machine and if so what problems did you run into that I should be aware of.  
I'm being pessimistic, assuming my attempts will fail so I'm sure I'll need 
all the help I can get.  TIA for any help.
