Has anyone tried this motherboard?

With 7.0 boot-only disk, I haven't been able to get as far sa
"Mounting root filesystem".  In fact it stops just before (after
probing acd0).

As a matter of fact this board doesn't seem to boot FreeBSD 6.3
either, nor 5.4.  (Even an old Gentoo 1.4 gets stuck pretty soon in
the boot process.)  So I thought there might be some BIOS trick I
should try before ditching the board.

Any help is welcome.
