Well, i have my first freenas set up. Right now, all I have is the server and a usb key. I do not yet have any disks or zpools. those should be arriving shortly.

It all works well. so far
Last night I actually received my first email alert (Yay, SNMP works)

Unfortunately, i have no idea what the error means, or if I care. Could someone explain the error message?

Code:
freenas.home kernel log messages:
> ipmi0: KCS: Read failed on byte 2
> ipmi0: KCS error: 01

-- End of security output --

Yes, a 2nd USB key and, yes, above instructions will get you going.

Yup. 2 usbs now.flashing the ipmi seems to have done the trick. I never knew there would be so many things to flash...
