HP ILO FreeBSD 8.3 Installation problem

[Emre Çamalan]

Hi,
USB memstick img file is solution for me. 
I try FreeBSD-8.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img.
I downloaded this img file and copy to USB, not burn it to USB.
Then attach to İLO such as USB virtual image then sysinstall start, BUT I selected installation from usb install NOT CD/DVD installation.

thanks for your answers.

We ended up using an mfsBSD iso ( http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ ), which doesn't mount from cd, but uses an .img loaded as memory disk. Didn't try the official bootonly iso or the USB image.
