Hello ~~~
I'm doing an installation for FreeBSD v4.8 i386 platform on the newly
purchased PowerEdge SC1420.
When I try to boot from CD-ROM to install my FreeBSD 4.8 i386
my computer stops to work. I do:
1) Booting from CD-ROM
2) Skip kernel configuration.
3) Then I see the kernel as following:
[...something before...]
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0
plip0:<PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
[That is all. Now he stops.]
I suspect he can't detect my SATA HDD. I wish to change the HDD to run
as IDE on my BIOS but my BIOS can't do this. Any driver I can install
to support my SATA HDD? BTW, I can't upgrade on my FreeBSD and I need
to run on v4.8.
My H/W spec:
BIOS system: Dell System PowerEdge SC1420
BIOS Version: A01
Ultra ATA Storange Controller
Intel Pro1000MT Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Cheers,
Ann
