Cannot boot in any mode. This is a new Dell PowerEdge 1950 server with a single 160G ATA HD, but with a PERC 5/i controller. I have been to the Dell Support boards, but this OS is not supported so they are not obliged to answer. boot -s fails at the same point. Safe mode gets me to a frozen login prompt. I see the DRAC 5 Virtual Media drives listed during the boot, but I am not sure how to get a trace of the boot sequence to supply here, given the fact that I never mount a file system.
