freebsd

[Henrik Hudson]

That answer is kind of mis-leading :) FreeBSD only runs on x86 and Alpha and 
marginally Sparc. I would think NetBSD would be your best bet if you want a 
*BSD, otherwise one of the Linuxes (Yellow Dog???don't know about floppy 
support though) would probably work to. YOu will still need either an 
Ethernet or modem connection to the net though to download the rest of the 
install.
