Installing FreeBSD
For the last two weeks I have been trying to migrate to FreeBSD. As I posted in te FreeSBD forums it came down to this:
I narrowed it down to FreeBSD is not able to create a partition on a SCSI hard disk when it is booted off PATA CD-ROM, or when a PATA CD-ROM connected to the system. If I disconnect the CD-ROM I can write partitions.
I even tried PC-BSD had a little more success. But as of today FreeBSD is a no go. I had to give up on such an awesome OS, but if I can't get it installed, I can't get it installed. I've been without a server for a week it is time to move on.
Back to Slack.
