I have an old IBM PC320 Server with the following hardware (use to have Microsoft SBS 4.5 installed before I tried to install FreeBSD): 128MB RAM 2 (4.5GB) Quantum Viking WSE SCSI hard drives, one is SCSI ID#0 and the other SCSI ID#1 SCSI ID#7 Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI controller SCSI ID#2 HP 35470A Tape Drive SCSI ID#3 IBM CDRM00203 SCSI CD-ROM Trident TGVA (1MB) video card 2 (100Mhz) Pentium Processors Installed FreeBSD 4.8 (and also tried FreeBSD 4.2) with no hiccups using the outlined installation in the FreeBSD handbook with no other operating systems. 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
