I bought the same machine, hoping I could put OpenBSD on it. Since I have OpenBSD running on my PrimePower 250, I did not expect serious problems. Luckily, I read just in time, in two separate threads, that any attempt to install OpenBSD on it will actually brick the M3000. So now it sits in a corner, unused, and the PrimePower has to soldier on. Such a shame.
