Hi,
I just bought 5 old vectra vli8 500 Mhz P3 boxes to build a cluster with for learning purposes. I
obviously don't want to be dragging out my spare monitor every time I want to change something in
the BIOS.
As far as I can tell, they have the Intel 440bx motherboard. I am unclear as to whether this
board is supported or not.
The status page says:
This is a template for generic 440bx boards, see the smartcore-p3
digitallogic/smartcore-p3 stable Ron Minnich rminnich at lanl.gov 16/12/2002 Now works as of
current CVS
digitallogic/smartcore-p5 stable Ron Minnich rminnich at lanl.gov 01/06/2002
I have no idea if my Intel 440bx boards are "digitallogic/smartcore".
Please advise if I can use LinuxBIOS or not. Also, please advise if you know how I can change the
BIOS settings remotely using open-source tools. The cluster nodes are running freebsd 5.3.
Thanks,
Mike
