	I am working on 9.3. I tried an installation this afternoon
which doesn't look too promising as it didn't seem to get a DHCP
address.
	There were some other issues, however, so I will try a
new installation from scratch tomorrow and see if I made some
sort of mistake.
	This box has been kicking and screaming, so to speak,  all the
way. It makes up for all the years of smooth sailing I have had
building FreeBSD boxes.
