Hi Dave, Sorry for just reading your response this morning. Thanks for your suggestions. I installed freebsd 6.2 from a notebook and then put the hard disk back on to ip350. I can't even boot beyond the first screen. The system keeps rebooting all the time. My company has a retired Nokia IP350 that we would like to donate to schools in Thailand. I'm trying to configure it as a Moodle CMS server. I've searched thru the internet and found no one has successfully installed freebsd on ip350. There are some monowall and linux installation on ip330 but they have to fake MAC address on it. I don't know whether this would work for ip350 or not. I'll try it soon.
