DELL PowerEdge 2850 and FreeBSD 5.4

[Danny Howard]

Danny,

A late reply, but I had some nasty trouble recently with some dual-Xeon 
SuperMicros.  The install CD would crash and burn, unless I nooted in 
safe mode.  Once I installed FreeBSD I'd have MASSIVE troubles with 
stability unless I booted in safe mode, which I would use to build an 
SMP kernel, after which, no stability troubles.

Go figure, but I've taken experiences like this as a bad omen for 
contemporary FreeBSD. :/
