Since you are using=20 less than 4 GB of RAM you won't use the 64-bit extensions, I would use the= =20 i386 version. Set up the RAID 1 Array first, and make sure it is a single volume. When you do your install you should see 2 drives, one is the 80 GB drive,= =20 the second is the RAID volume. Hope this helps. -Derek At 06:39 AM 6/13/2006, DSA - JCR wrote: >Hi all > >I am going to install several NFS server in FreebSD for several customers >and the computer has the following characteristics: > >- MSI 945PNeo Platinum Main Board, chipset 915P, ICH7R, VIA=AE 6410, 82573 >PCI-E Gb LAN, PCI Express 16x VGA, VIA=AE 6307 (IEEE1394) >- Intel EM64T P4 CPU 3,2Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 2Mb L2 >- SDRAM 1Gb DDR2 >- HD IDE 80 GB Seagate >- 2x HD SATA 200Gb Seagate in RAID 1 controlled by the chipset of the >mainboard. > >I want to install in this system a NFS, Samba, and TCP, in order to make >possible to use the data on the RAID 1 like a file repository for the >customer ms windows network, and also get some data files from there homes >with FTP (I will install pfsense in another small pc). > >I think that I must install the "amd64" flavour of FreeBSD, because it is >recommended for the EM64T Intel chip.
