New Hardware!
<BR>
<BR>This is running on new hardware as of yesterday. New 7.0 Stable FreeBSD, 
<BR>Depenguinator again, Eco-Server with a third of the power consumption.

<BR>I changed the script because having a great server, but no rescue system 
<BR>sucks.
<BR>
<BR>The trick is, keep the sda1 with grub, keep the sda2 with the 
<BR>depenguinator image, install everything in sda3! Add another entry in 
<BR>the menu.lst for grub. So you can change the default to boot either of 
<BR>them. You have to always use the rescue system from server4you, because 
<BR>freebsd can not mount ext2, because it's GPL. Ah, you need to add the 
<BR>ufs2_stage1_5 in the /boot/grub directory! Get it here:
<BR>
<BR><A href='http://stderr.de/~pluto/ufs2_stage1_5'>http://stderr.de/~pluto/ufs2_stage1_5</a> 
<BR>
<BR>Of course, do not try to change the MBR! Grub stays where it is!
<BR>
<BR>When installing, fdisk and label manually, then mount the new drives.
<BR>
<BR>Get the base.* and kernel manually and tar them on the new drive. Get 
<BR>the right system type (amd64!) Otherwise you end up with an 80386 
<BR>system, that does not even compile a amd64 kernel! And is not SMP and so on.
<BR>
<BR>Edit /etc/rc.conf for the network setting, resolv.conf as well.
