If it's an IBM/Intel blade server I may be having the same problem you are: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-February/ 011944.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-February/ 012161.html I haven't tried 4.10, 5.2.1 works for me if you do a PXE boot with scripted sysinstall. 5.3 I cannot get to go anywhere. --Paul
