Anyone have any idea what is going on w/ this install, re-downloaded media just to be sure but this is happening 3 times in a row. FreeNAS10 Beta1 worked fine for me.

i found the freenas10 beta 2 loading to be very slow...not sure if this will be the final product. also Freenas 10 doesn't seem to have Chelsio T420 support

That's odd. FreeBSD has had T420 support since at least FreeBSD 8. It doesn't look like the driver is loaded by default, though. According to the manpage, you need to add:
Code:
t4fw_cfg_load="YES"
t5fw_cfg_load="YES"
if_cxgbe_load="YES"
To the /boot/loader.conf file (you can test by doing "kldload" of each of those modules and seeing if the device appears). I'm not sure what the equivalent commands in FreeNAS are, though.

i'll test this out when the GA is released...I am not that good with BSD either too

Found a workaround

From FreeNAS cli
'account user root set password=newpassword'

I DID have some oddities w/ it not taking a password I set, used a shorter ver (1 character), took it, let me in GUI, ssh'ed in and reset using good ole' passwd, GUI passwd reset on root acct did not seem to work...very odd.

Guess that's why they call it a beta! LOL
