I`ve tried to install FreeBSD 7 on Compaq Proliant ML330 G2 server, but it

only in Proliant, I don`t even get grub command prompt.
Please see the below thread. Do not let the subject stop you from
reading it.

I still can't find a present-day RELENG_7 SNAPSHOT that I can tell
people to download. There isn't one in the snapshots/200803/ directory
past March 14th, and the snapshots/2008/04/ directory only contains
snapshots for ia64 and powerpc.
I'm left to believe David Overton built his own ISO. It sounds as if
you may have to do the same.
And I can't explain what GRUB is doing.
HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5
controller (it`s not onboard controller). When I connected drives to onboad
controller they got some problem with DMA TIMEOUT.
Not enough information to help debug this, but DMA timeouts are a known
problem right now, regardless of controller:

Scott Long may be able to help track this problem down for you, but more
details are needed.
PS: Is there any way how to debug Bootloader?
Debugging the bootstraps is an incredibly tedious process at this point.
No, it's not easy.
Hi
I`ve flashed to the latest "rompaq" (aka bios on Compaq :D), and now
freebsd sees LSI raid controller (really don`t know why it didn`t saw it
before upgrade). Also I set disk sizes to 130GB (went down from 250G).
After installation BTX loads /boot/loader just fine. But thanks for your
ideas.
Best regards
