I am attempting to install FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 from a CD onto a Dell

hardware guide. Nothing in the hardware guide really seems to apply.
Does it have a SAS 6/ir controller? Or a PERC variant?
The former is software-assist and the driver is brand new.
Remember, Dell and LSI would club a baby seal over the head to save a buck.
That driver is in 8.2 but you'll need to get us a copy of the DMESG from
your CD boot. If you cant get the network to come up from the FixIt
image, try copy'ing /var/run/dmesg to a thumb drive and sneaker-net it.
Post the dmesg to http://www.nycbug.org/index.php?NAV=dmesgd;SQLIMIT=20

Any one else get FreeBSD installed on an R210? Is there a BIOS
setting that I need to check or something? I've spent about a week on
this and will need to return both R210s soon if I can't get them
working.
Thanks,
