Hello,
I am new to BSD, therefor new to NetBSD.
I just purchased a dual Opteron 240 server for my website.
From browsing around it appears that my best options for OS were Gentoo
Linux (which I run on my personal machine) and NetBSD.
I thought NetBSD might have the better support and might be more mature.
So I thought I would give it a try.
The server has the Arima RioWorks HDAMA motherboard with the Broadcom
5700 1gb nic and the Promise 20319 SATA.
I have 4 250gb SATA drives connected.
I downloaded the latest ISO and created a cd.
From appearances the cd looks fine when put into a running system.
But I can't boot from it.
I get this error
Error Disk read
Did I do anything wrong on the CD?
Do I need to burn another CD?
I don't see anything wrong with this one.
But I don't see what is on it that it would boot from?
Does NetBSD work with my hardware described above?
Is this a 64bit port? Does it run 64bit and 32bit apps?
Pardon my ignorance about NetBSD.
Any help, advice and wisdom greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jimmie Houchin
