Description Damian Gerow 2005-05-06 02:50:02 UTC

	I received a Tyan K8WE (S2895) yesterday.  It's 'functional':

	- 5.3-R and 5.4-STABLE (as of today) boot fine, with ACPI
	- I'm not using the SCSI
	- Booting into single-user mode, for some reason, does not work in 5.4
		- The machine will not accept input for shell specification,
		  but hitting ctrl+alt+del will successfully reboot the machine
		- Booting into single-user mode seems to work fine in 5.3-R
	- only currently using one CPU
	- ports/nvnet does *not* detect the nVidia GBE adapters
	- I've had some CD issues that I haven't tracked down
	- ACPI is *required* (and luckily it works) to enumerate the PCI bus,
	  as well as use DMA mode on the SATA controller (amongst other things,
	  I'm sure)
	- Changing the installed OS type in the BIOS from 'Linux' to 'Other'
	  seemingly has no effect (and vice-versa).

How-To-Repeat: 	Find a Tyan K8WE.  Install FreeBSD.  Play.
