Sorry, I've already installed FreeBSD on the box -- I was in a hurry to retire
the machine that this box replaces before year-end.  Now, in a rush to get the
FreeBSD machine into production (I've not used FreeBSD since 2.2.1 so a fair
bit of learning to get under my belt before Monday).

However, FreeBSD's probe of the pertinent devices yields:

The machine will be tied up for the near future so unlikely I'll get around
to that anytime soon.  After ~20 years with NetBSD, probably time to make a
bit of an investment in FreeBSD...

Happy Holiday!

worth replying  :< )
