I tried installing FreeBSD-6.0-RELEASE on an old Dell GX1 Optimplex<br>450L+ at work yesterday but didn't get far. The installer says it can't<br>find the hard disk controller. Of course I tried different BIOS settings<br>

<br>I have 6.0 running on a slightly newer GX110, and I've loaded past versions on GX1's without trouble. I think I might have one of these at work, though, so I'll give it a shot on Monday and let you know what I come up with, if I have time.
