I boot from CD, with or without ACPI, and it freezes after it recognizes the second of two RAID containers. It detects the first container, 3-18GB drives aacd0 as RAID 5 on aac0, and the second container 3-32GB drives aacd1 on aac0 correctly, then freezes. I can toggle numlock - until the 15 second wait for SCSI drives to settle times out - then it's locked up. I've seen (google searches, and newsgroup archives) where some folks have various versions of FreeBSD running on PE 2400 and PE 2550 servers, but so far no PE 2500. Anyone running any version of FreeBSD on a 2500? Thanks, Bob =20
