I've got a Snap Server 4500 1TB that has gone unused for a while now. I'm reappropriating it for another use and am trying to get FreeBSD installed, but during the set up (right after you select what kind of installation you want) I get a fatal error. I also tried installing Windows Server 2003 SP1 on it... with some success. In Win2K3 it randomly reboots itself, and upon reboot the boot drive can't be seen to successfully boot. Do I, perhaps, have faulty hardware, or has Snap Appliance done some trickery to the units to prevent me from running the OS of my choice?

Thanks
