I tried to install pfSense on a Dell R200 myself, using 1.2, which didn't work no matter how hard I tried to get the system to use the SATA cd-rom unit. What I had to do, was to instead install 1.2.1-RC1, which uses the 7.0 base, which then worked nicely, both with the SATA drives as well as the Dell SAS RAID controller, which also had some issues in 1.2. My installation has replaced an old Cisco PIX 506e, and our new setup has made us able to scrap both the Cisco, a couple of D-Link DFL-200's and a Symantec Firewall, and the pfSense performs way better than our old setup. And I also went all the way with 4gb of RAM, even though I knew the machine would be complete overkill for our setup. But with a nice service plan on the server itself, and have a system that lets us grow for quite some time into the future. :) -- Yours sincerely Jostein Elvaker Haande A free society is a place where it is safe to be unpopular http://tolecnal.net -- tolecnal at tolecnal dot net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
