  Subject: FreeBSD-6 fails to install on too many old laptops.
  Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 22:29:26 +0200

After FreeBSD-4.11 worked, & 6.2 failed on my pcmcia, I tried NetBSD
latest release:  Worked fine, (except beware NetBSD's vampire teeth
in the MBR, my FreeBSD-4.11 partition is still there I hope, but
MBR can't boot it).  Ref http://berklix.org/~jhs/hardware/laptops/#netbsd
