      Hi Guys and Gals

      I'm attempting an install of pfsense 2.1 on a dell t3500 with the following configuration:

      Xeon processor
      146GB mirrored drives
      1 onboard NIC
      2 regular NICS
      1 cdrom
      DVI card.

      When I boot from CD I get gibberish on the screen as in the attached pic.

      Any suggestions ? 8)

        Try plugging an old simple nvidia card into a slot and use that during setup.  I had to plug a old PCI card into mine during initial setup be graphics was a mess with the internal unit.
