Installing 8.0.1-REL on Intel SS4200e - RESOLVED
Hello,
Very glad to see 8.0.1-REL! Congrats to the devs and thanks for all the hard work!
I've been using FreeNAS since 0.7.2 and have been happy with it. I was ready to give 8.0.1 a go on my Intel SS4200e. And of course, I got a little stuck (I'm not experienced with FreeBSD - yet).
What I've done:
I put the 4gb DOM from my SS4200e in another AMD64 machine and did the install on that since it was easier to have video on that other machine. After doing the install I rebooted, configured the nic, shutdown, and moved the DOM back to the SS4200e.
Result:
The bootloader finds the kernel and starts to boot. It gets to the point where it tries to mount the root-fs and, as the helpful error message suggests, I suspect it's down to editing the fstab.
I'm having trouble 'seeing' what devices the system sees (it flies by too fast on bootup). What utilities can I use to find out what the proper dev is so that I can manually mount it, edit fstab, and get to exploring FreeNAS 8.0.1?
Regards,
John
