I have a P4 system which is going spare, and a bunch of HDDs from a decommissioned storage array at work.
I'd therefore like to get FreeNAS running, with low performance expectations, but ideally RAIDZ running just serving one, or maybe two media devices over DLNA/NFS - when they're not in use it will act as a backup device for a bunch of stuff, but no serious load. just space!
So I download the iso (x86)...
On bootup I get a few SCSI errors, but the process says it's happy and starts up - installs to a USB stick.
- Claims to have completed and asks to to remove CD and reboot (when it should say reboot and remove CD, but hey)
- Please insert bootable device/media :(
Tried it with two unbranded 8GB sticks, a 4 GB SD card in a reader and a 32GB Kingston stick (which I know boots, because it's my memtest stick and I ran memtest on the box)
OK - let's try the image straight to USB - both an unbranded stick and the kingston stick have the same issue.
Ideas anyone? I'm pretty much all out and am considering popping an IDE disk in there to get it running... (would be annoying in terms of bay space, not to mention a bit wasteful)
