I just spent the entire day trying to get a successful install for FBSD
on this server.

8.2 is impossible; 9.0B2 works, but it is a challenge, all to do with the
raid & daX.

I tried OpenSuSe .. no problem. FBSD.. nightmare.
It is probably my lack of understanding of the finer points of disk
management, but when SuSe just "works", it really makes you question
why you pick the platform that you pick.

But FreeBSD it is! I wish the 2TB limit was easily overcome!
