I studied all I could locate on the installation process primarily the handbook. I concluded I should be able to install Amd64 version on my I7 processor (as long as Intel 64 arch is the same as Intel® EM64T).
I followed the instructions, downloaded the memstick iso file and wrote to memory stick.
During bootup, there are some errors and warnings, but I'm not able to view them. I tried hitting the scroll lock but nothing happened. How does it work?
The bootstrap loader says ##86. Should have I seen Amd64 or something to that extent?
It also limits my RAM to 3.2 gig. I have 12g and was expecting to use all with Amd64.
I was able to get to menu's, go through them, create slice (all of 1-1T drive) and created 1 partition (no swap) as I was going to use instructions http://blogs.freebsdish.org/pjd/2010/08/06/from-sysinstall-to-zfs-only-configuration/ to convert all drives (4) to ZFS.
Any help would be appreciated.
