I am in a position to allow remote access to our development machine = (650 8 way 1.35 32gb ram), with remote serial console.... the machine is = not net bootable but I can load any dvd requested into its drive. I have tried loading it but It fails to load. soon after starting = freebsd, I will be at the datacenter where the machine is located at = later this morning and will try 8.1 again to see what happens. --=20 Steven C.
