Hi allI`ve tried to install FreeBSD 7 on Compaq Proliant ML330 G2 server, but it won`t boot. FreeBSD boot0 beeps after pressing F1, or F2 (got 2 partitions) key. So i`ve installed grub on another machine, but than it says "Error 5" only in Proliant, I don`t even get grub command prompt.
It looks like you installed the system correctly, only you cannot boot it, right? I had the same problem on several Proliants (though I don't know about G2, it's an old version), which I fixed by installing sysutils/extipl. Instructions: boot from the install CD, go to "Fixit" command line, mount your root and usr file systems from the drive somewhere (e.g. /tmp/mnt and /tmp/mnt/usr), chroot into this root file system, bring up your network, install the port and run it - there's no significant configuration. See the man page for details.
HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5 controller (it`s not onboard controller). When I connected drives to onboad controller they got some problem with DMA TIMEOUT.Any tip/hint/idea will be great. PS: Is there any way how to debug Bootloader?
