[geeks] FreeBSD install problem on ALR server

[Ken Hansen]

I don't think every PPro MB can use all 1 Megabyte of cache on those PPros - it may work fine, it may work using only 512K of cache, or it may not work at all... Depends on your MB.

IIRC, only a very few systems shipped with 1 meg PPro CPUs installed (Servers, of course ;^)

Just this weekend a buddy picked up 8 PPro 200's with 1 meg cache- $45.00
each. He's going to put them in _his_ ALR.  .  .I might have to snarf the
other two to put in my two-way PPro box.

Mike,

If you find yourself with "extra PPro CPUs (either the overdrives or the 200
MHz/512K cache CPUs let me know - I caould always use more *umph* in my
Proliant 800.. (I have 2x 200 MHz 256K cache in it now)

Thanks,

Ken

Hi gang,

I got my hands on 3 ALR Quad 6's today (4 x PPro 200/512k) and tried to
install
FreeBSD on the box, since it no like booting from the CD-ROM I dd'd the
floppy
images and when it askes for the mfsroot floppy it hangs. Anybody seen this
before?

Cheers,

Mike N
