This is my first experience with freeBSD, I was expecting abit better from it as I kept hearing it is typically easier to setup and work with than the linux distros. Very frustrating since my hardware is specifically listed in the supported hardware section as well. My issues appear to be related to my mylex acceleraid250 (DAC960) card. (I also have similar trouble with redhat9 on this issue as well) -Mike
