Hi there I have been trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 on a compaq proliant server = model 1850R, The server is correctly configured and will run all the = operating systems I have tried with the exception of FreeBSD. I have = used the floppies to install the system in the hope of using FTP. The = installer asks for all the disks as usual and gets to load the kernal = but gets to the "waiting 15 for SCSI devices to settle" and stays there = forever. I have tried launching the installer with option 6 and used = set vm.old_contigmalloc=3D1 but this did nothing. I tried the = installation with FreeBSD 5.3 and the same thing happened. Hope you can = help me sort this out as I have a simmilar compaq server which has it = installed and works fine. Many thanks for your time. =20
