I couldn't get that to work ( without ACPI ) I had to install with ACPI but this was 5.4-RELEASE but using the 5.3 driver from highpoints site as there wasn't a 5.4 driver available. 1. Boot from cd 2. got to boot prompt, load the driver from floppy 3. unplug the floppy ( must to this as floppy under amd64 is broken ) 4. boot the kernel and install. Notes: 1. I was using a RAID 5 array 5 disks * 400Gb. 2. Create the array using 16 k stripe or the performance will be poor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amandeep" >> I am instalaling FreeBSD 5.3 AMD 64 bit with 6- 200GB drives.
