As near as I can tell from the Dell manual (which is just an Intel manual with a Dell >cover) and from the folks at Dell I have spoken with, Dell made some changes to the 3250 (a re-branded Intel >box) but did not bother to update the manual to reflect those changes. So don't follow the instructions in the >manual that tell you to set up console redirection via EFI--they don't work. Use the BIOS. >This machine has been the source of a lot of friction between my group and Dell; I am curious to learn about >your experiences with it. Hi, Enabled the console redirection in BIOS. Using Hyperterminal, (I could't connect via minicom. How to disable the modem connection in minicom?) I got the following output. After the following line, I see only the blinking cursor. "Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0xe000000004058000..." Did you successfully installed FreeBSD on your PE3250?. If so could you send out the mini-HOWTO?
