So long as you don't have any cards which are at IRQ's and IO-MEM
combinations that it doesn't know about.  Trying to guess what it
wants when asking for "specific options" is not fun, and neither
does it tell you which CD-ROM drive it is using as "scd0" nor does
it tell you select between scd0 and scd1 to install from.

Just some minor irritations that have annoyed me recently.

FreeBSD is (still) the easiest free Unix to install.
