It looks like you installed the system correctly, only you cannot boot it, right? I had the same problem on several Proliants (though I don't know about G2, it's an old version), which I fixed by installing sysutils/extipl. Instructions: boot from the install CD, go to "Fixit" command line, mount your root and usr file systems from the drive somewhere (e.g. /tmp/mnt and /tmp/mnt/usr), chroot into this root file system, bring up your network, install the port and run it - there's no significant configuration. See the man page for details. > HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5 > controller (it`s not onboard controller).
