Re: FreeBSD on Cisco IDS 4235

2008-12-06 Thread Peter
Hello,

I have fixed the problem myself. If anyone ever experience this problem
 the solution is:

Replace cisco BIOS with Dell BIOS for Poweredge 1650, revision 32. Then
FreeBSD 7 install like charm.

Link to DELL's site:

 Hello,
 
 I am trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 on Cisco IDS 4235(pentium III 1.2
 Ghz, 1 GB ram, the device seems quite simialr to Dell PowerEdge 1750
 Server). However BTX loader dies with this message(see screenshot here:
 http://www.aboutsupport.com/freebsd/btx.jpg)
 
 I tried with both ACPI and Safe mode but still no luck.
 
 Other operating systems I tried:
 
 Debian - installs just fine
 FreeBSD 6.3 - installs just fine
 NetBSD 4 - installs just fine
 FreeBSD 7.1 FAILS, even at earlier stage than 7.0, on loader stage.
 
 Thanks in advance for your help.
