I intend to buy a notebook and run netBSD on it. (desired config: P133,
32Mb ram 1.4-2MB HD, Modem, 10Mb UTP/BNC network card, CDrom drive)
 
I intend to consult the supported hardware list and insert a boot floppy
in the notebook to check if all devices are recognised. 

Are there other things to look for and/or check before spending the
money?

Paul

(Of course, general tips are also welcome)
