I successfully loaded FreeBSD 6.0 from CD but at the end of install when the system reboots, it goes thru the start-u= p process (the ASUS screen) and finally I get a message saying to use the proper boot device or insert boot media and try again. I rechecked the BIOS and sure enough, the striped HD is the first boot device. Any ideas? Thank you. =20 My system consists of: =20 ASUS P5LD2 motherboard Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz dual-core 2 x 512 Corsair 667 DDR2 RAM 2 x 80G Western Digital SATA HD configured in RAID 0 NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-RW Antec case Targus keyboard Belkin 3-button optical mouse =20 -- Aaron
