Hello, I'd downloaded the official 5.3-RELEASE for amd64, but it didn't boot. The loader stops working at the line starting with root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu. The hardware is the following: MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nVidia nForce3 250Gb) AMD Athlon64 3200+ Socket939 3ware 8506-4lp RAID controller with a RAID 5 array, consisting of 3 Samsung SATA disks I thought, that this failure is due to the RAID array, but even if I'm right, FreeBSD must get to the bootmenu at least, I think, but it doesn't. (OpenBSD booted, but didn't see the RAID array.) Thus, I've got no more idea now. Please help me, I must solve this trouble asap, the server must be in the servers' room in January. Best regards, Gabor Kovesdan P.S.: I get the same effect with the i386 version of 5.3-RELEASE.
