What about FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 ? Have you tried that ? Also I would like to learn
if R420 and R320 which has H710 (LSISAS2208 chipset) and H310 (LSISAS2008 chipset) has any problems with upcoming FreeBSD 9.1

Regards.

Hi,
i am very happy that you wrote this little guide. Now i can install FreeBSD on our new hardware. Thank you.
There is a little question that bothers me. How do you monitor your hardware like the health of RAID and Disks. Do you have any advice in this?
Thanks,
Thorsten

I followed the overall steps and now have the release.iso under /usr/obj/usr/src/release folder. When I tried booting this ISO on Vmware Workstation, it went fine but after I select Guided Installation, it showed me Restart option.

Seems like you have missed the installkernel portion after you did buildkernel(I am not sure of).

Can you please help me with this?

Yes indeed. Dell definitely hit a HR with this new line, particularly the R710 and R720, which I get to work with. They have come a long way from the p;d PowerEdge 2950s LoL Rock on \m//
