Hi,
New to FreeNAS and have a couple HP DC5850 minitowers I would like to use as NAS for the house. Looks like there is a known problem with the FreeNAS install and what looks like the BIOS on the HP boxes.
Here is an older thread on same deal http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/install-fail-stops-at-btx-loader.11873/
Has anyone been successful in installing FreeNAS on these boxes? If so, can you walk a noob through how you did it? I am sorta comfortable (in a combative, repetitive way) with CL interface.
I think that FreeNAS will be the answer for my storage problems if I can get it to work on these boxes.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
