RE: FreeBSD on Dell PE850

The debug screen is blank.

To verify I had a good download I went to a different mirror site and downloaded the boot-only cd and had the same problems.

I am having several problems loading 6.1 on a Dell PE 850 w/an Adaptec

cd, I get the error "Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0.
Do you want to retry again" and it won't go any further.

When I install using the 6.1 disk one I get the error "Add of package
linux_base-8-8.01-14 aborted, error code 1 - Please check the debug screen
for info" and when the system boots I the kernel will not load. This
happens weather I install the linux compatible module or not.

However I can install 6.0 without a problem and it seems to run like a champ.

Any ideas?

Subject: FreeBSD on Dell PE850

Does anybody have any experience running FBSD 6.x on a PE850? I'm
specifically wondering about support for their base-configuration
onboard NIC and their CERC SATA RAID controller.
