I am new to FreeBSD, but not new to computing. I have 8 years administering Windows servers and 3 years dealing with Ubuntu so I should be able to follow a FreeBSD pro's recommendations well.
I can't seem to finish the install! Here is my configuration.. I am installing from CD.
This is a personal server. I plan on using it for OpenVPN, Apache, MySQL.
System
----------------------
Asus M2NE-SLI
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
1 x 2GB DDR2 667
2 x Samsung SATA 500GB
IDE LG DVD-Drive
FreeBSD registers my two HDD's as ad10 and ad8.
I have chosen to install on ad8.
The geometry of ad8 is 969021/16/53 - I ran a CHS calculator and appears to be correct (500GB).
My Slices(MB)
----------------------
My last two slices are X. Is this normal?
I've formated the drive and recreated the slices, but the X slices keep coming back.
I'm using the FreeBSD Boot Manager (BootMgr)
Selected the 'User' install package - because I don't know any better.
After choosing to install from CD/DVD I get my first message:
Any suggestions?
