The installation of Freebsd 6.2 I386 (with the bootonly cd) goed well, with 1 small problem. When I want to create the slice for the partitions, the installer will give me a Geometry incorrect warning and sets it's to what it thinks is correct. The installation then goes without a problem. When I reboot at the end of the installation it hangs at displaying the bootloader (i'm using the freebsd bootmanager). Then the system bleeps every few seconds. Rebooting using ctrl+alt+del is still possible, but it won't boot. Also tried the AMD64 edition, but problem is the same. Can you guys identify the problem i'm having?

I still have a DL380G5 sitting on Amd64 mode / 6.1-Stable July 2006 largely because I am afraid to upgrade it to 6.2 release because no one has given any positive feed back on the G5's proliants and 6.2.
