ar0: 39073MB <ATA RAID0 array> [4981/255/63] subdisks:
  ad4: 19536MB <ST320423A> [39693/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA66

My box even froze 2 times !!!! It feelt kindof bad as i never had a frozing 
FreeBSD box and now it happens :((
I have running FreeBSD not so long on this setup but i never had a simular 
problem ... I did heard the drive making bit strange noise while it was 
resetting ....
Does anyone maybe has expierience with HighPoint controllers or ATA-RAID ?
Also does anyone knows what exacly the ar0 device is and how it works ?
When i fireup sysinstall and it checks my devices it my kernel generates a 
lot of messages like the ones below ...

sectors

I use the ABIT KT7-RAID 100 mainboard with a Duron800@1G

I recently replaced my OS to FreeBSD to use it as my main OS for all my things
and i use vmware when i need M$$ to test something ....  :)
My general goal is to make FreeBSD the perfect all-in-one desctop-workstation 
and a personal internet server ... so far it is going well even my cheap 
TV-card is working with fxtv ...
