thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a shot when I get into the office on Monday. I'm sure what the status of the Dell box is. All I know is I've got one because no one wanted it. A group I used to work in purchased 4, 1 is sitting on a desk as someone's desktop, I have one since I wanted to get FreeBSD working on it. The other 2 are on their way to our in house surplus group. diana -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Moolenaar To: Eichert, Diana Cc: 'freebsd-ia64@freebsd.org' Sent: 2/8/2003 1:37 PM Subject: Re: install on Dell Precision WorkStation 730 SNIP Yes, they are. You probably need to give a pathname. Try prefixing a slash (load /kernel.gz). Probably the easiest way to install FreeBSD is to copy the files from the EFI partition on the CD to the EFI partition on disk. The loader has fs0: hardcoded for now, which messes things up when you already have an EFI partition. BTW: A quick search on the Dell site does not give me anything about the 730. Did they gave it an early retirement? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
