When I go to reboot, the Boot Manager comes up with two options: F1 FreeBSD and F5 Drive 1 (or F5 Drive 0, depending if I select F5). Neither work. It will not boot past this point. What am I doing wrong? I know it probably has something to do with my SCSI ID's but I don't have a clue what arrangement or BIOS settings that need to be adjusted. Has anyone installed on this type of server and if so, what settings are needed on the physical server. Or is there a way to get around it in the installation process. Thanks for all your help! I'd really like to get FreeBSD going on this particular box. David Nicholas osuisn01@charter.net
