The installation went fine (i did it twice to make sure i didnt screw up), everything was detected fine. After the installation was complete, i reboot and i get the FreeBSD boot loader, i hit F2 (the partition where fbsd is) and it just prints a carridge return and it sits at "-", it does not spin and proceed as usual. This particular machine is not new to FreeBSD, it has ran many version before just fine. The only thing that is different is that i am now using the promise supertrak sx6000 (pst) ide raid controller, which works fine under windows in raid 0 mode. Thanks.
