The motherboards are OK. The problems are in the 3.0-SNAP. I have filed a few bugs reports which cause kernel crash. One is the "dumps on wd0". The other one is weired, use NCR SCSI controllers, add two Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB SCSI disk drives, the installation works fine. Adding three or more such disk drives, installation boot process crashes before switch to the Welcome FreeBSD menu. What I believe is that crashes at same place when the "dumps on wd0" is used. So, they may be related problem. Also, fopen/freopen failed on 3.0-SNAP in many cases. Just FYI. -Jin
