Compaq Proliant 5000 SMP won't boot

[Pete French]

> What version of FreeBSD *works* with this box?

I;ve run many versions of SMP FreeBSD on these boxes, certainly
up to 4.6 - the trick (as far as I know) is to go into the BIOS
and set the operating sywstem to Novell Netware SMP. Then it
works. I got this tip from a memeber of this list in the netherlands
who's name I forget, and it has worked for me on all manner of
Compaq servers subsequently.
