Hello,
I'm trying to install FreeNAS to try it out, but can't get it to install. When I use a USB stick, it fails at mounting root from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1 (IIRC), and via CD-ROM, it fails at "Looking for installation cdrom on ". At the USB mountroot> prompt I can't do anything, since apparently USB keyboards don't work in FreeBSD at this prompt. At the CD-ROM stopping point nothing seems to work either. I was hoping to boot the CD-ROM, find out what the USB device is, and modify the image...I would rather run from a USB stick. This all gives me pause, though...Is it really this fragile?
