Hello.

I'm sitting here with the Supermicro 6013P-T and the optional (but important)
Intel SCRZCR Sata controller.
<http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6013P-T.htm>

I need to install FreeBSD on this machine, but i'm having trouble with it
when
I use the Intel controller.

When the system boots on the 4.9 floppies it states that it is not able
to work out which disk it's booting from. The 5.1 floppies fails with the
same error, as for the FreeBSD 4.4 in Intel's documentation.

The controller is running with it's newest firmware, and I have used Intel's
docs for their example on how to use it.

So far I'm inclined to say the problem doesn't lie with the controller at
all, but with the Supermicro board.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
