What kind of machine is this? How old is it?

I've booted a NetBSD partition which was located behind a 32GB Windows
XP partition without problems on one of my PCs in the past. But that was
a machine with 2006 motherboard that came with a BIOS which provides
support for reading cylinders past 1024.

        Kind regards

P.S. This really belongs to the "port-i386" mailing list.
