I have a running FreeBSD 5.4 installation on SunFire amd 64 v20 dual cpu.... I know its not same, but the scsi disk detected and is performing fine. Regarding the partition, I have noticed that if you partition /boot on seperate partition then the boot fails(this is comman for any intel or amd make) can u check dmesg for any errors.

Installation works fine, it finds any hardware and I'm able to configure any setting. The problem occurs when server is booting. I get a black screen and the server reboot automatically. Server has 4 processors AMD Opteron 850 and 2 scsi hard disk 73GB. I tried to: - use only a disk, the problem is the same - install both "Standard boot" and "FreeBSD Boot Manager", the problem is the same. I noticed in FDisk that, after the installation, the freebsd slice lost "bootable" property. Please, could someone help me?
