I have put FreeBSD (6.2 I think) on 2950-s. It worked fine. The only problem was some confusion about the raid driver identifier. I needed to do some rummaging through dmesg and it was not at first obvious as it was a little unnoticed line amidst lots of others that looked more likely. But, I found it and had no problems after that. Unfortunately I had to give those machines up to another project and can't look and see what it was now. ////jerry > > Tim > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
