Trying to re-install a set of HP servers over the iLO, and every time I tried to install the 8.1 CD I ended up with an error message telling me that the CD looked more like an audio CD than a FreeBSD distibution.
I ouzzled over it a bit, and then remembered that I originally installed these machines using 7 not 8. So I download the 7.3 install CD and I get an extra step in the process, listing two CD drived - cd0 and acd0 - whuch allows me to select the correct one. I havent had a chance to see if this bug exists in the latest snapshot of 8, but I thought it was worth pointing out, as its a situation where 8 doesnt work but 7 did. It takes about 45 minuets to boot each image over the internet, so I am reluctant to try a more recent 8 snapshot in case I am back to square one again. Anyone know if this is fiex, or should I file a PR ? -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
