Asus V2-M3N8200 - NetBSD
Hardware info on main page.
This machine has the amd64 port of NetBSD installed, for testing purposes.
The first sata hard drive (ad4) is sliced up as follows:
slice 1 - 116 GB - a FreeBSD install (currently RELENG_7) slice 2 - 116 GB - a FreeBSD install (currently 8.0-CURRENT) slice 3 - 112 GB - NetBSD (currently 5.0 BETA) slice 4 - 121 GB - Xubuntu (currently 8.10)
Because of Xubuntu, I use grub as boot loader.

2009-01-23: I tried a snapshot of NetBSD 4 (200901210002Z), but it just rebooted in the middle of the boot.. No go.
2009-01-22: I tried to install NetBSD 4.0.1 / amd64, but the boot hung after printing the ahcisata0... line. I disabled acpi (with userconf), and that allowed the boot to progress further. Then it got busy printing a lot of timeout / communication errors for the first pata disk drive. I disabled pciide* (with userconf) and this time the boot got to the install menu. Only one problem: it detected my 500GB stta disk drive as 69MB(!). Partitioning the disk seemed to work, but labeleing the disk complained that partitions were beyond the end of the disk and failed. I tried NetBSD 4.0 (both amd64 and i386) - same story.
