Can I ask if FreeBSD 6.0 release runs on these boxes with none of the issues you mention? and did you build a RELEASE box, or a current box ? And second I wounder what type of hardware is in these boxes. are you using nvidia based chipsets? broadcom or 3com network cards ? why dont you break down 2 or three different boxes, like a generic, a dell and an HP for us. Im sure maybe we might be able to assist better then.
