Hi, I've have been running Fedora for a couple of months and wanted to move to a more stable OS and was recommended BSD. I have an old Proliant 5000 server (Quad Processors, 1GByte Memory, Raid array) that I have been using as a test system. I have just tried to install Free BSD 5.3 on it and ran into problems, If I allow the default at the 1st screen, the machine hangs at: pci2: <PCI bus> on pcib2 trying the other options eg with acpi support, safe mode etc I get a kernal panic: cpu0 on motherboard make device: can't find device vt Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernal mode Etc panic: page fault I note that during boot only 16Mbyte of memory is recognised. I had this problem with Fedora etc which lead to a kernal panic. I guess that this is the same problem as above. In that case I was able to correct this by adding mem=1008M as a kernal parameter during boot. I cannot see how to do that with Free BSD. Is this possible with Free BSD or am I barking up the wrong tree with this problem?
