I can't get the thing to boot a windows boot disk to upgrade the BIOS, the
only thing I can get to boot is the FBSD boot disks.  It might be
something todo with the hardware and not the software knowing that another
server I purchased from them is DOA but I emailed them and asked what they
thought the drive geometry was, I mean...whats one more install of
FreeBSD?  Whats that gonna make? 7 or 8 now?
