BUT: Only via NFS Root, as there is currently no SCSI support, no support for the MUX (except port 0 as console with the PDC driver) and without parallel (printer) port. But Linux runs completely, including login, remote X usage (xterm, etc...), access to the internet via LAN, etc, .... Hi Ryan, you have found the device ? This one on the BC ? Sounds gooooooood !
