I appreciate it. This HP stuff is uncharted water(s) for me. Well, it should look just the same as using the Dell stuff, except there might be a couple different device driver names and the escape to BIOS during boot might be a different key.

If you got SCSI (or SAS) disk, about the only different driver might be the NIC and possibly a RAID card driver and they work, just have different names. ////jerry > > Tim > > Jerry McAllister wrote: > >On Sat, Sep 29, 2007 at 04:21:26PM -0400, Tim Kellers wrote: > > > > > >>I thought e would be purchasing a Dell 2950 to use as part of our > >>FreeBSD 6.2 server farm, (and thanks to everyone for their informed > >>replies), but due to other circumstances, our client wants to purchase a > >>HP ProLiant ML350 G5 SAS LFF - Rack Server. > >> > > > >We loaded FreeBSD on a Proliant 350 sometime back.
