Installing FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE IA64 on IBM X455

[Dominique SA]

I do not have a cable with me, but i was wondering how could this help? any
other alternatives? a rectification, we're actually using EFI 1.1 not 1.2

I researched on the internet, and saw that not a lot of people are using IBM
xServers with FreeBSD. Is FreeBSD not compatible with such servers?
