Need help with my new server hardware

I have just bought an old IBM PC Server 520 from a company that was replacing it. If it's possible, I would like to get some information on it (the company does not have any), and since the computer is only for my own personal use, I can't afford to get official support, and therefore I try

Problems installing from CD-ROM

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.6.2 from CD-ROM, and it boots just fine. But when I chose to install from CD-ROM, it says that it can't find my CD-ROM. What can I do? I'm not sure what vendor/model my CD-ROM is (I'm compleet stupid when it comes to hardware), but it says VUEGO 36x MAX. Does that

SOLVED: Problems installing from CD-ROM

Recommended partitions for a 20 GB disk

I have gotten a new old server. The default patitions only leaves 128MB for '/', is that not a little to little? Do you guys have any recommendations? I will offcause place most things under '/usr', bu surely '/' must be able to contain quite some MB's too, after all 'bin' and 'sbin' are placed
