Yo - I'm not sure who I need to be corresponding with but I just had a bit of trouble installing BSD 2.8 on my Dell PowerEdge 600SC and I think it will be a common problem for anyone installing to variety of dell servers. Every time I tried to boot to the CD, it kept gettin stuck at "ata0: resetting devices"... I let it sit there for 60 minutes once and it never progressed past that point. The problem was that dell factory ships any servers with IDE hard drives, with the hard drives on the same IDE channel .. and put the jumpers on "Auto Select". We had 2 hard drives in the box, so the solution was to move the 2nd hard drive to the secondary master, or tertiary master. Hope this helps, and if this isn't where I need to send this to, lemme know where I do :-P Later! Billy Kimble, System Administrator ebase, LLC
