thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a shot when I get into the office on Monday.

I'm sure what the status of the Dell box is. All I know is I've got one because no one wanted it. A group I used to work in purchased 4, 1 is sitting on a desk as someone's desktop, I have one since I wanted to get FreeBSD working on it. The other 2 are on their way to our in house surplus group.

SNIP

Yes, they are. You probably need to give a pathname. Try prefixing a slash (load /kernel.gz).

Probably the easiest way to install FreeBSD is to copy the files from the EFI partition on the CD to the EFI partition on disk. The loader has fs0: hardcoded for now, which messes things up when you already have an EFI partition.

BTW: A quick search on the Dell site does not give me anything about the 730. Did they gave it an early retirement?
