Just to add a data point-
I installed FreeBSD 5.2 or thereabouts on a 386DX machine some months ago
without any unexpected trouble. (The expected trouble involved making a
custom world and set of installation floppies.) I think I set it up to act
as a firewall/router, but don't remember if I tested it out much. It's
currently in storage.so I can't fire it up to play with too easily.
