Hi, At present Digital Unix is running on the system, I just want to remove that want to install fresh copy of FreeBSD. Do I need to format the disk before start FreeBSD installation? Is there any option from SRM console to do that? Santanu Dan Williams wrote: >Hi, > >I'm running 5.1-RELEASE on an AS 1000A 5/400, but again that's an EV5 and >not an EV4 like the 4/266 would have...
