[BlueOnyx:23054] Re: HP ProLiant DL380 G5 4 gig Ram and 6 hard drives

[Jeff Keller]

To get BO to run on Proliants you have to use the Proliant EZ Setup CD-ROM
which preps the server by setting up the Proliant system partition and
configuring the SmartArray/Networking/ILO drivers.  It will prompt you for
the BO ISO or CD part way through the EZ Server Setup process and
eventually boot the server into the BO installation process.
