        Yes, I have run OpenBSD on my machine, but the bwtwo performance is
less than reasonable.  Apparently all of the text stuff goes through BIOS
(?) instead of the frame buffer.  (Sorry I don't know the technical details,
so I may be way off base here).  I'd rather run NetBSD anyway...

        If there is anything I can to do help the effort (getting P4 support
in), please let me know.  I can program in C, but have never done any work
with hardware at such a low level.

        The 'sw' driver is probably the largest thing holding me back from
running NetBSD right now.  I can get by using a terminal as the console, but
I can't live with poor disk performance.

Thanks for the reply!

Mike.
