I just powered up a shiny new Dell Poweredge 1850 with the idea of installing FreeBSD4.11 on it. Everything started out okay until I got to the part in the Standard Installation where it was going to extract the distributions just after formatting the disk, actually the hardware raid disks. At that point, every single distribution prompted the message that roughly goes: User Information. Unable to extract blablabla from acd0. So far, game over. A 750 server which also has a RAID controller is, so far, taking the installation perfectly. The CDROM drive works well enough to boot and the boot process looks right until I try to extract the distributions such as /bin, etc. Are there any other things to investigate before saying that 4.11 and Dell 1850's don't get along? Thanks for any ideas. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Information Technology Division Network Operations Group
