I happen to have one (model 244 CPUs) of these, and I have not been able to get
Freebsd5.4 to run on it. The install goes fine but once the reboot
happens, the usb keyboard and mouse don't work. I have remotely
rebuilt the kernel not removing anything (just using generic) and it
still fails. I sent mail a while back to the list but have heard
nothing. 

I have not retired this machine using FreeBSD 5.4 in about a week but
may try again this weekend.
