I just obtained an old 486 Compaq Proliant server with 2 hot swappable hard drives and 32 RAM. I've run (gulp) Linux on a different system and have FreeBSD running fine on a 486 at home. When I try to install 2.2.7 (the latest version I have) on my Compaq server it doesn't detect either the hard drives or the CDROM (all are SCSI). I have run fdisk, deleted and reinstalled new DOS partitions, formatted the new partitions and have booted the FreeBSD installation disk, but it doesn't detect any of my drives except for the floppy drive. Is my Compaq Proliant server incompatible with FreeBSD? Any suggestions?
