I can reboot, no problem. I got 7.0-RC1 on it (my CD-ROM drive was bad too old ... it would boot up, but freeze at the 'acd0' line in the boot process). Once installed, I removed the hard disk and got an error "No Operating system". I pulled the second drive, and booted with just one disk in. After it had booted, I plugged the SATA cable back into the running machine (the SATA protocol is HOT-SWAP friendly) and ran atacontrol to detect the added disk. Then I created a gmirror between the two disks. Actually, I made two slices on the disks, one small for the OS, and a larger one which now has zfs on it. I used these instructions: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/work/gmirror-slice.txt ... those instructions are missing one step before: gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad0s1 It helps to have a partition table on your ad0... this command will do that: fdisk -p ad1 | fdisk -f - ad0 (disks need to be the same size) The x7sBi is working great. (send me some free motherboards, Supermicro and I'll test them out!)
