Started a new thread since this is the new machine we built instead of trying to use the antique Dell server.
Specs
ASUS Gryphon z87 Motherboard
8 Gigs Ram
4 Western Digital RED 4TB drive
with the same PNY 16GB USB thumb drive.
First attempts the USB drive was plugged into USB3 system hard a hard time recognizing the drive.
So I switched to USB2 it would recognize it a couple of times.
When it did boot up it exhibited two issues.
1. No matter what DHCP server I connected it to it would get an IP address but would always set the gateway to 0.0.0.0 which it would then complain about rDNS errors and hang.
2. Once it did completely boot up but could not ping the gateway after trying to static set the IP Address.
3. Trying to run route -n just puked up usage instructions - would never show me routes.
4. Re-installed twice from CD to USB but still ended up with the same issues.
My next attempt is to scratch using the USB drive all together.
I installed a 16Gig SATA SSD drive and installed FreeNAS on it.
It is installing now - will add to this thread the results
