IBM Blade Center HS40 - Heat Sink Retention Module

IBM blade HS40


By maartenw - usenet poster


Dear All,
anyone has experience installing FreeBSD-5.3 on to IBM Blade HS40 ?
I have difficulty when installed FreeBSD-5.3 on to IBM Blade server HS40,
the keyboard doesnt want to work when arrive on installation menu.
from IBM blade HS40 documentation:
"Although the keyboard that is attached to the BladeCenter is a PS/2 style
keyboard, communication with it is through the Universal Serial Bus (USB)"

best regards,

thanks it works well. FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE can be installed well on to
IBM Blade HS40.
But I face another problem. If I reboot the HS40 I have entered onto
qlogic bios. if I dont
enter onto qlogic bios device then the HS40 will hang on probing isp
devices after reboot.

with best regards,

=46rom the eratta:

(31 Oct 2004, updated on 5 Nov 2004) For FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64,
when installing FreeBSD 5.3 using an USB keyboard the keyboard will stop
working once the kernel boots, because a PS/2 keyboard is always
considered to be attached. As a workaround, select ``Escape to loader
prompt'' in the boot loader menu and enter the following lines at the
prompt:

set hint.atkbd.0.flags=3D"0x1"
boot

Note that if you use the boot floppies, this is set by default.

After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

hint.atkbd.0.flags=3D"0x1"
