Hello, I have fixed the problem myself. If anyone ever experience this problem the solution is: Replace cisco BIOS with Dell BIOS for Poweredge 1650, revision 32. Then FreeBSD 7 install like charm. Link to DELL's site: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R68041&SystemID=PWE_PNT_PIII_1650&servicetag=&os=WNET&osl=en&deviceid=159&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=7&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=4&libid=1&fileid=88251 Peter Peter wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 on Cisco IDS 4235(pentium III 1.2 > Ghz, 1 GB ram, the device seems quite simialr to Dell PowerEdge 1750 > Server).
