Hard drive installation problem
-
We just got a couple of Dell r310 servers to use as pfSense firewalls. I tried installing both 1.2.3 and beta2 and neither can see the hard drive. Am I missing something simple?

Please read the boot troubleshooting guide.

To summarize, make sure you have proper drive configuration. RAID ? SCSI? Marked bootable? Check the installation howto after confirming your drive configuration because even if you go through HOWTOs and your drive configs are not setup properly then no point all the effort.

You may have an unsupported controller. Most of the Dell ones are fine, there is one particular one on the rXXX series that isn't supported by FreeBSD, the H200 IIRC.

It's an unsupported controller. Trying to talk Dell into swapping it out for a supported one.
