Yes. DOS and Windoze 95 do boot, but not being SMP aware, this does not
say more than FreeBSD booting and running fine with UNI kernels.
I tried to install RedHat 8.0 but it would hang already with blinking
keyboard LEDs right at the beginning, and the distro CDs I have don't
have anything to create modified boot floppies like in the old days of
RH.
Given that this box was built to run Windows NT SMP way back when, I did
buy a copy of NT on ebay for a few bucks, but haven't received it yet.
I'll report back once I know whether this works.
Cheers, Stefan
