The problem is that this server has no CD or DVD device, but can (theoretically) boot from external USB CD/DVD (which I don't have either); so I cam up with the idea to boot from that USB key I have used to install 7.0-REL on that eeePC, i.e. the USB key works fine in any laptop; on the HP NAT 1000s storage system it says: FreBSD/i386 Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: error 1 lba 752976 No /boot/kernel/kernel Any idea about why it does not work?
