I am afraid I have had no luck with freebsd. My sis900 network card is 
recognized but fails with a 'MII without any PHY!', and 3 more devices 
are showing up as unknown:

pci0 2.7 is a sis7012 audio driver
pci0 5.0 is a conexant 56k modem
pci0 7.0 ia a VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE1394 host controller

Further more, XF86 as available in freebsd 4.6.2-RELEASE #0 does not 
recognize my lcd panel, so I can't run a desktop environment.

I have not yet posted about the X problem, I wanted to have the sis900 
network problem resolved first.

FYI, I've installed mandrake 8.2 without a single hickup: all hardware 
recognized and configured properly in a very neat and smooth 
installation. Other distros which I've tried with less success are Red 
Hat 7.3, and Debian 3.0

I do like the iBuddy though!
