Apoligies for crossposting, but ... Was unable to install the amd64-port on a Dell 2850 with a Perc 4e/Di RAID-controller and dual Nocona at 3.2 GHz. The server has 4 GB RAM. As a last resort I removed 2 GB RAM, and I was (finally) able to install FreeBSD. Applies to at least beta5 and -6. I was under the impression tha the amd64-port could see the 4 GB RAM as a flat memory space, so it never occured to me, than I had to remove 2 GB in order to perform the installation. Putting the RAM back makes the server stop during boot (after it detects the CD-drive). Claus
