I have a box with a MB ASUS P5WDG2-WS Pro with two built-in SATA II RAID co= ntrollers=20 (Intel ICH7R and Marvell 88SE614x). I installed 4 HDD WD WD5002ABYS (500GB each) on the 4 SATA ports of the Int= el=20 ICH7R and using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager I created a RAID10 (Strip = 14KB, Size=20 931.5GB, Status Normal, Bootable Yes) out of these 4 HDD. Then in the BIOS I set the IDE Configuration to Configure SATA As [RAID], O= nBoard=20 Serial-ATA BOOTROM [Enabled] and disable the Marvell SATA controller, for I= use only=20 the Intel ICH7R. =C2=A0Then I successfully installed FreeBSD 7.1 on the RAID partition, ar0. =C2=A0 The installation completed successfully but the system persistently didn't = boot and gave this=20 error message: =C2=A0 F1=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0FreeBSD Default: F1 No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot = Default:=C2=A00:ad (0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel Thanks a lot, Alex =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0
