installation on hp rx2600

[Claus Guttesen]

Hi.

Tried to install 5.2 RC-1 on hp rx2600. It boots fine
from the CD, and it pops into the serial console
install-mode without any problems.

When I have allocated diskspace for FreeBSD and try to
use the CD-drive as install-media I get this message:

No CD/DVD devices found!

Trying a ftp-based install doesn't get me any further,
it does seem to recognize all of the built-in NIC's
during boot, but does not accept a manual ip-config or
dhcp.

So the SCSI-drives are recognized, but the ATA-CD
apperantly not. Do I need to provide some
boot-parameter?

Tried the snapshot from Nov. 19'th but no diff.

It's a Itanuim 2 with 4 GB RAM.

regards
Claus
