Don't know who to e-mail about this

Yo -

I'm not sure who I need to be corresponding with but I just had a bit of 
trouble installing BSD 2.8 on my Dell PowerEdge 600SC and I think it will 
be a common problem for anyone installing to variety of dell servers. Every 
time I tried to boot to the CD, it kept gettin stuck at "ata0: resetting 
devices"... I let it sit there for 60 minutes once and it never progressed 
past that point. The problem was that dell factory ships any servers with 
IDE hard drives, with the hard drives on the same IDE channel .. and put 
the jumpers on "Auto Select". We had 2 hard drives in the box, so the 
solution was to move the 2nd hard drive to the secondary master, or 
tertiary master. Hope this helps, and if this isn't where I need to send 
this to, lemme know where I do :-P Later!
