Hello,

I'm having the same problem with an R900. Doesn't matter if you choose
6.2 or 6.3 either. I've also tried booting from USB Pen Drive, USB
CD-Rom Drive and booting with PXE, all give the same 'can't load kernel'
error.

I haven't been able to get it FreeBSD on it. Nor FreeNAS. DragonFly BSD
does work.

Greetz.
