What's the point to support those old relics? (I mean the 386 and 486)
The 386EX is still in substantial use for embedded devices. Whether
this is something DF wants to target, though... <shrug>
I own one of those antics that even has PCI slots and onboard IDE controller,
but I can't boot from the (IDE)CD so I can't install DF on it.
(Had to "sacrifice" a newer machine to try it. ;-)
Take a look at:
http://www.i386.com/default.asp?c=6&k=12
http://www.bootdisk.com/
These have links for booting over a network; I also see a few for
booting a *specific* type of CD-ROM and OS, but nothing generic (e.g.,
for DFBSD).
Hm... I have the feeling that this is out there, but I just can't find
it. Maybe GRUB has a solution? Anyway, I'll take a look and see what I
can find...
