X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 15:41:06 -0000 I tried to boot a 6.0 Installation CD on a HS20 Blade. I always get "can't load 'kernel'" from the cdloader. If I type "lsdev" it shows me no "cd devices"; a "ls" brings "open '/' failed:.." and the LED of the cdrom-drive stays dark. The BladeCenter is using a USB-CDROM and I think this is actually the problem of booting a Blade from a freeBSD CD. Did you try a Network-Based installation? How far did you come with your installation? On Wed, Dec 28, 2005 at 01:32:44PM -0000, Gestur A.
