Nifty! :)

Previous to the Dual P2-350 FreeBSD machine I've been discussing, I ran a
K6/233 in a cardboard box w/serial card & ether card were the only two cards in
the motherboard.  "ghetto" was it's name.

Served me well for about 6 months when I came across the killer deal on the new
system.

After the initial setup, I had no need to get in to the BIOS, but my serial
console via FreeBSD was all I needed. :)

cheers,
