Hi, I just need some pointers towards installing FreeBSD 4.11 on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 4GB RAM, Dual CPU, with 1TB disk storage on RAID 5. I have a production system that I am not willing to upgrade beyond 4.11 at all as it is rock solid as it is.;) Currently it's running on HP ML 350 but I have acquired this Dell which I'd like to migrate it to. I have read some posts about PAE in the kernel so as to recognize my 4GB RAM. Basically, I have tested the install using a 4.10 CD, but this was meant to only do a mininal install before I do a few things here and there that would make it run as expected. I am fairly conversant with those aspects. The problem right now is that it tells me it did not find my disk ;) I could be missing a few things that are must-know, so pointers, please. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.
