Maybe because I am not using the whole disk, but only some of its partitions. My main intent is to be able to dual boot Windows and FreeBSD, and keep both running, with Windows vmware hosting FreeBSD (I would prefer the other way, but vmware3 is a bit old). I need a secondary root partition, because of kernel and config changes, but the data partitions could be shared. BTW: Maybe this can help. I'll copy scsi@, maybe they can find this problem quicker. The only messages sent by the mpt driver are: mpt0: port 0x1080-0x10ff mem 0xec800000-0xec800fff irq 17 at device 16.0 on pci0 mpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED] mpt0: MPI Version=1.2.0.0 mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0xa. If I enable verbose booting, there are to many messages for me to understand each one. Also: In the install CD fixit shell, "camcontrol devlist" finds no device, but "camcontrol devlist -v" finds two VMware devices , at scbus target 0 and 1. If I do a "camcontrol rescan all", and then another "camcontrol devlist -v", even these devices disappear. I did also try disabling ACPI during boot, but no luck.
