When attempting to run the necessary commands (all of which were supposed to “just work”) from a FreeDOS bootstick on my R710 , I’d find that they would “hang” without throwing any error messages. While this wasn’t entirely unexpected or undocumented, I gave it a try anyways. “Maybe it’s the Dell BIOS not letting me run the commands” I thought. I threw the card into one of my desktop’s PCIE slots and… the computer wouldn’t post. Great.
